Wheezing Diesel

I'm driving a '96 F-250 with a 7.3 Turbo Diesel. Lately with the weather starting to get colder, it seems that the Turbo is spooling up but not dumping to anywhere. The engine changes pitch a little and it seems as if your foot were dragging on the brakes. Has anyone experienced this and if so what the heck is it and how can I cure this?

I also noticed this summer that occasionally upon starting, it seemed as if the turbo was already spooled up and would dump immediately. My son noticed this and asked why it sounded like the truck was dumping air through the exhaust.

What's up with these problems?

Thanks Lazy K. I guess I should have went a little farther down in the Forum Topics.

I'll see if the Diesel Boy's can point me in the right direction.
