NO Boost!!!

Just bought a 2004 F-250. It has no boost at all and looses power. I took it to ford and the tech was stumped!!!!!!! The tech is a long time certified tech. He said if it was this it should be doing that and so on and so on. I purchased a used turbo to replace it with and when I pulled the old one it looks new. The egr has been blocked. I cleaned the port for the map. Any quick test I can do to narrow this down???
Thanks
Tim

I would take your question down to the 6.0 diesel forum. LOTS of good techs there!

Could a bad exhaust to turbo connect really cause a low boost situation?

your exhaust is what provides the power to spin the turbo

Ok got it! I too have been having what seems to be a low boost = low power problem. I know my turbo back exhaust is not perfectly lined up to the turbo and leaks a little. Thought that may have been my problem by the wording in his post.
