vgt sensor ??

Got a small problem that's got me thinking.... Problem is when engine is cool and I get on the highway i can feel and kinda hear a very, very slight surge. When the engine is all warmed up it either gets better and I can't notice it any more or it just goes away???? I was thinking that maybe it's the vgt sensor, but not sure? Anyone know what a bad vgt sensor acts like? Truck starts, runs, idles fine just notice it on the hwy.

Fyi 05 6.0 auto, studs, egr-,no kitty, sinister reg. fuel return, swamps 58v, custom sct, fuel & egt, turbo cleaned and new ring less that 10,000 miles ago.

Any help would be great because that sensor is not cheap

Thanks,
CFS

have ya tried to scan for codes
The VGT controls the oil to the veins in the turbo
does it seem to surge when you back off the throttle

Mine would surge off and on I also had a service engine light come on dealer changed the VGT problem solved

I haven't check for codes. No service engine light on. Doesn't seem to do it on dec. only acceleration? As I said it is a very very fait surge? Any other ideas on what it could be?

Thanks,

CFS
