Turbo Issue

The turbo goes in and out while driving even when giving it throttle. What could cause this to happen? I have heard it can be a gasket or something under the turbo. Do I need to get a new torbo? Any help would be great.

Not sure what you mean by that. Can you describe what the truck is doing that makes you think something is wrong?
