TURBO PSI ?

WHEN HEADING UP ANY SMALL OR LARGE HILLS W/ 6.0 F 250 IS IT COMMON TO LOOSE SPEED WHILE WAITING SOME 5-10 SECONDS
FOR TURBO TO SPOOL UP AND THEN HAVE PLENTY OF POWER?
THANKS............

No it's not normal. Sounds like the vanes in your turbo are sticking and it might need a good cleaning or a good hard run to clean it out. If you accelerate hard and then suddenly let off do you here a "huffing" sound from under the hood?

when letting off acceleration, yes, it does make huffing sound under hood ??

Also known on here as a "turbo fart".

YouTube - 6.0L Powerstroke SCT Tuned "Turbo Fart"

You'll hear it 10 seconds into this video...happens when lifting the pedal while the turbo is making a lot of boost.

Edit: Didn't see your other thread before I posted this. What you describe there is not normal, and following npccpartsman's recommendation is a good idea.

Do you have tuning?

Yup--turbo vanes are sticking and it needs cleaning. There is a thread in the tech folder that gives good instructions on how to do it.
