Lost Power

My F350 6.0 is acting up and I could use some help.This is an early 2004 model with 180k miles.The 3rd egr cooler went out so I decided to replace the cooler with an RCD egr delete.The truck was running strong but was smoking bad,this truck is stock and is usualy loaded down.I decide to install the egr cooler delete myself and a new K&N air filter.After geting this baby back together about 3weeks i dont have near the power that i had.I dont have boost gauge installed yet but i purchased one, turbo sounds good taking off but will not tack over 2200rpms.I dont have a check engine lite on.I checked over my work a couple of times just wondering if any has any ideas on what to check or shoud i just carry her to the ford dealership.
