2005 6.0 turbo? Computer?

So the truck is acting funny after rebuilding, the truck is really slow and has almost no power. So I unhooked the vgt and it has more power with it unplugged than plugged in, ebp sensor and tube are good, along with boost sensor. So what do you guys think? I’m stumped

Edit: also I have wired the vgt to be controlled in the truck for testing purposes, and when I disable it, it has more power, enable it and it smokes and is slow

I don’t have any way to monitor those things but I do think it’s defueling or something similar.

If you have a smart phone, you will be able to monitor those things at a small cost.

Midaswell give him the info.
You need a Bluetooth adapter. Elm327 is what most people use if they have an Android phone. Apple phones use Wi-Fi so you would have to purchase a Wi-Fi adapter.
Forscan lite is what you want for your phone. $4.99 at the play store. Simple to use, a little trial and error you will figure it out. It will give a lot of info on your day to day operation and diagnostics.

Elm327 has a WiFi dongle. I'd search Amazon for elm WiFi. I'm a Android guy so not a lot of experience on the WiFi dongles. Maybe some one else will chime in with better info.

I have a BAFX adapter in BlueTooth and WiFi. That brand has worked well for me.

You have a choice in adapters, but WiFi is for iOS

I'm not in my truck but off top of my head I would go into settings look at connection or somthing of the sort and switch to Wi-Fi connection. I'll look into it later if ya still need help.
