No power problem!
Out of no where today My truck is having a problem. When i parked it yesterday IT was running fine. Now all of a sudden when im shifting gears i have no power until it hits around 1800 RPM and boost kicks in? Any ideas at all?

Maybe the ebpv is sticking. Try unplugging the solenoid on the front of the turbo pedastal.

Ive been reading around do i need to make sure the valve is open or closed (which ever it is) or is it open on its own?

If you unplug it without it running it will be open.

I just tie wrapped it to something that had wire loom on it so it couldn't short out if it came in contact with metal.

Glad you found you problem! Can someone explain what actually happens to cause this to happen?

Glad to hear. I would check your EBP sensor:
Welcome to guzzle's Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Cleaning Maintenance Web Page
If that is acting up/getting clogged the pcm may be getting erroneous data from the sensor and cause the ebpv to act up. This will probably affect your mpg and performance if you are getting bad readings from the ebps.
The only other thing I can think of is the ebpv is physically getting stuck while operating.
