Exclamation 6.0L Problem

2004 F-250 31,000Mi
I had just got my truck back from ford, it went in with a exhaust leak, they found the right manifold to be cracked and replaced it. It still sounds funny, what is the best way to tell if their is still a leak.
The other problem is when driving i let off the gas and coasted around a corner, when i steped back on the gas approx 1/2 throttle it had no power and felt like the motor was fludding it self, i looked in the mirror and when the truck shifted it puffed black smoke and then had all its power back. it dose it at least once every time i drive it. What could it be??????????

Sounds like an EBP and/or VGT actuator problem to me....
