Help smoke/boost/power/ASAP

So i just got my truck back from the shop.They replace radiator,inter cooler and everything else.

Left the shop. My adrenaline was not reading boost. Egt on level 0 were at 1000 and the power was like it was in limp mode. Turned the adr up to 10. No boost, and still no power. When i looked out my mirror i was DUMPING coal.It was black didn't seem like there was any different color and egts were around 1200 (medium pedal). O and no check engine light.

Any of you guys got any ideas as to what this might be.

so in summery
!. No boost reading
2. No power
3. Dumping coal.

You have a loose intercooler boot, or a hole in one. Since they just replaced the intercooler I would lean towards a loose boot.

Well look over the boots. Found the boot from the cooler to the intake tube was half way off on one side. Got both sides back on but now one of the clamps went bad. So im just going back to the shop and have them fix it right.

I would take it back and look over everything before I left again to be sure that they didn't overlook something else. Make sure the radiator and intercooler are installed properly or they may fail down the road.
