High boost pressure

The other night I was getting on the freeway. I gave a little throttle the truck shifted really hard. After that I noticed cruise body pressure to be roughly 17-18 psi and climbing a little hill would go to max boost on stock turbo with really no power gain. Truck seams to shift some what ok. Just high boost pressure. Completely stick engine with 60hp tune. 330,000. A little help would be appreciated.

Any codes? Could be the turbo VGT sticking or your EBP sensor needs to be cleaned out.

I pulled codes. No codes present for EBP or MAP sensor. Checked out for map sensor. It was clogged. Cleaned it out and ready drove still sad concern. I guess I pull turbo next and check the vanes. Maybe

Curious - what are you using to check for codes?

Just a little code reader from Matco. Nothing fancy.
I have to get with a buddy of mine to get anything better

Did you check the EBP tube for clogging?

On the MAP sensor make sure to check the hose & the brass nipple that threads into the intake manifold.
