Turbo acting weird

Hello, I couldn't find anything in any forums, but my 2012 f250 is been acting weird, usually the truck is boosting while on gear when I'm at a stop (around 0.40) I think that's normal on a 6.7 because it's always done it, but since yesterday I noticed it sounds different and it's not on boost anymore it just vaccums while on gear at a stop (around -0.25) I'm thinking it's the wastegate solenoid but I'm not 100% sure, and the truck doesn't boost as fast as before but it drives fine and I'm actually getting better gas mileage since it doesn't boost as before, so anyone have any idea what it could be? It's tuned and deleted

Literally last week I had this pressure sensor come completely disconnected. Threw new codes but was definitely laggy, smoked more, and made quite a rushing sound under the hood. Mileage never really dropped either.

When you are tuned and deleted, you walk the plank for help.... Start from fresh and analyze what is going on, do you have the ability to read what is happening with an app like Torque Pro on your phone?

Time to talk to SCT about your issue.

Actually not bad at all. Can see fairly easy if your EGR cooler is gone.
