6.4 DPF delete problems

I bought a 2008 6.4 one year ago this month. Since I purchased this truck the check engine light comes on and goes off often. The code (which I always check) is p2263. Nothing was wrong with the truck and the light went off after a couple of days. For the last month the truck has only been boosting to 10psi and sounds terrible whenever it is put to work. Pulling the trailer up a hill today it was like it wouldn't produce any power and sounded like there was an exhaust leak (not sure how else to describe it). I learned when I went to look for an EGR valve (that wasn't there) that the DPF on this truck has been deleted. Would that be causing my problem? I live in Michigan and I wonder if anyone knows if it is even legal here in Michigan to sell a truck with a DPF delete on it without disclosure? Any ideas what could be causing this?

looking up that code number I found this:

conditions must be present for at least 5 seconds for this code to appear. This code is used to detect a charge air cooler hose that has become disconnected. This code can also be set if there is any condition present that would cause low power.

I would check your intercooler for loose or blown hose connections. Might explain low boost pressure.

As stated above sounds most definitely like a inter-cooler hose bad or coming loose. That would most definitely make the truck not have boost and sound like you describe.
It is absolutely illegal to sell a truck that is deleted, especially if you purchased it from a dealer.
