6.0 acting weird

I have a 05 f-250 with the 6.0 turbo spools up way high when I first start driving it like 20+ pounds of boost and no power then you will feel it all of a sudden gain power ans the boost will drop off, but after I take off from a stoplight after the turnover calms down it has very low boost until I am in high gear then it takes off, any ideas what could be wrong? I've cleaned the vgt the ebt censor tube,

Could try cleaning map sensor and hose also. Passenger side small hose from intake to sensor on th firewall. Sounds like maybe turbo is still sticking or maybe VGT solenoid. Do you have any gauges or ScanGauge? Would be a good idea to check for codes. You can have a code without a CEL.
