please help ..not makeing boost ???

my 2005 f250 drives good for a bit just recently started to do this .. if i drive it for at least 30-35 mins straight begins to bog like if it is loseing power loses speed and its like i cant go past 55mph when it begins to shut down truck sounds nasty ..cant go any faster than 30-35 mph after that ... or just feels like no power at all starts shakeing like turbo isnt working .. have no check engine light what so ever although at one point the wrench did come out a while back ..but turning it off and on takes it away and runs fine after that ..any help would definitley be appreciated it ..thanks hope it makes some sense ..lol ..oh my mods are 5 inch exhaust , drop in filter and thats about it !

Any recent work? Fuel filters changed lately? Has it been to the dealer in the last year or so? Oil changes up to date and correct oil filter cap?

Lots of stuff comes into Play with your drivability concern Sensors or Turbo Plumbing or Leaks just lots of diffrent things

You need a ScanGaugeII at the Minimum this Will see all engine sensors and will show some DTC but not all and definatly NO WRENCH Codes but with seeing all engine sensors we might be able to figure it out without seeing DTC being able to see DTC is a Bonus though

or AE with the Ford Bundle this one is going to be the only one of these 2 scanners thats going to read the wrench code and all CEL DTC

With your condition you describe and a wrench light It could be the case you have a couple diffrent problems

Turbo issue normally sets a CEL cause emmissions relaited IIRC
A wrench light might be a Plugged Oil Cooler

Is the AfterMarket air filter Clean???? if you can go back with OEM Air Filter its the Best

when was last oil change did you use OEM Filters and Cap
How about Fuel Filters????

Basicaly recent maintenance

A lot of times troubles like you describe are caused by a leak in the high pressure oil system. The STC fitting could be a likely culprit. If the dealer flashed the computer while it was there, the latest software monitors coolant and oil temp an defuels the truck if the difference gets too high. It will also defuel if it over boosts from a sticking turbo. If the oil was changed at a dealership the oil cap isn't a likely problem. possible fuel problem. Could try fresh filters and an updated " blue spring" in the pressure regulator. Both a good idea even if it doesn't fix the problem.
Do you have any gauges or a code scanner? If it turned on the wrench light ther is likely a code set (unless batteries are disconnected). That would get you started in the right direction. AutoZone or one of the chain parts stores will often scan for free. If you plan on keeping the truck for awhile, I would reccommend a Scan Gauge II. It plugs in the OBDII port under the dash and displays pretty much all the sensors and actuators on the truck. About $160 and well worth it. another option is to get it diagnosed at the dealer, but it's hard to guess what the problem might be without more info.
