my truck will only run little to no boost by that i mean max of 5 lbs..looked at datamaster everything seems okay other than that. I did a few runs it looked like this max of 9lbs then another run at max 5lbs then a last run at 1.9 lbs max. Its acting exactly like my turbo mustand did when the cat broke and blocked off the exhaust. This happen to anyone? I have an adjustable fpr, good walbro fuel pump. custom chip w/3bar map 3'' exhaust and good recent tune up (within the last 2 months) any suggestions? Im gonna check the wastegate, vaccum lines, cat, turbo. Does this sound like my turbo went out?

If your cat is plugged the truck will have NO power and your gas mileage will suck(well, even worse than normal :-? ).
You could always yank the cat/exhaust off and take it for a quick spin around the block. Just be careful of OVERboost!!(stock turbo??)

Is your turbo making any nasty noises when you try to spool it up?

Also, check for intake leaks between the turbo and intake manifold.

I had that happen on the way to KC '00 (2600 miles each way)

Ended up being stuck WG. Thing was stuck open, wouldn't fully close.

Might pull off the arm and see how it rotates, and if it closes ALL the way.
