Turbo problem??

Got a 97 f250 7.3 5 speed, and I've noticed as of late and seems like it's getting worse, that at low rpm's or when I'm pulling out from a atop and trying to get up to speed that if I give it to much fuel that the motor boggs down or almost stutters until the rpm's get built up. Is this a turbo or injector issue?

Low rpm's turbo is not spooling so are you saying that once the turbo spools the stutters go away? It could be an injector problem too, how many miles on your injectors?

Yes, once rpm's get built up the stutter goes away. 197k miles on the truck, I'm assuming it's the original injectors. I have not checked the fuel pressure,I did put a new fuel pump.on it last year cause the old one was leaking.
