PO868? Turbo??

truck is showing code PO868 according to my bullydog triple dog. when you take off, the truck pours smoke and slowly builds boost. its like horrible turbo lag. funny noises from turbo, turbo bark at around 10psi. I have noticed lately that the lag is getting worse. I have oil pressure, EGT's have peaked at 1500* several times.

Turbo problems???

transducer in the tranny for anyone who looks this code up. cycle the key and the truck will go fine for a while....then mess up again...what i thought was horrible turbo lag was the truck starting out in 3rd gear. Thank God for a great local DTT guy....i have my truck back less than 24 hours from when it happened.
