Turbo overheating problem?
I was just making a long 7 hr trip in 95 degree heat and we had been driving for about 5 hrs total with a 30 min break in the middle.. we started up a hill and I felt the truck slowing down and noticed that my boost was only going up to 1psi on my edge monitor..I was running in economy mode and I was not towing anything.. we went about another mile with it doing the same thing and then stopped to let the truck cool down.. after that everything seems fine except it seems like the turbo my be hesitating a little bit before it comes on like it should.. is this normal and did it just get too hot? Or is something wrong?
All my other temperatures on the truck were perfect.

Does your Edge Have Gauges???
FYI that Edge Going to Tear the Trans UP best thing is to take it OFF and sell IT or use it as a Code reader ONLY
Sorrey Man But I have to warn ya about the EDGE Tunner
Look into SCT tunner
Also a ScanGaugeII is Great for A Gauge you can check those sensors I mention for the Turbo
You also want to check ICP & IPR% for High Press Oil Health
Also want to check ECT and EOT for OIL COOLER Health
And Also Good to watch Volts and FICM
ScanGaugeII will Do All This^^^^^^and a TON MOre

Turbo could be alot of things Intake leaks A BAD sensor
Check the CAC Boots for Leaks and Also check the Uppipes at the Back of Moter yes they in a Fun spot at the firewall
look for black soot around upipes joints when cold startup and feel around joints by hand for leaks do it fast going to get hot LOL
some even hang a string on stick and put back there look for string to blow around
at WOT you should see 24-28 psi BOOST

Yes the edge has gauges and I have set alerts based in what is in the technical section and none of the alerts were set off.. I will do some looking around and see what I cam figure out.. I also cleaned the AFE intake filter before the trip but that shouldn't have caused anything I wouldn't think.. I cleaned it and treated it with k&n filter oil

EDGE may get EBP and MAP Need BARO as well it sets the stage
If you get any of those take reading at KOEO

You might also consider the possibility that the turbo is sticking from thermal expansion and a good cleaning might be in order. Never heard of this before but anything is possible with a 6.0. You should also check the EBP tube and MAP sensor tube/nipple for blockage or obstruction.

Yea npccpartsman the turbo almost seems to be sticking, since I bought the truck when you get on it at WOT and it gets to 26psi boost and then let of quickly it will make a couple little short noises as the turbo slows down.. I had heard this is normal also?.. does that mean it may need cleaned?
