Turbo error code???

I own a 04 F250 6.0 Diesel, with about 21k miles on it. Recently I took it in for the emissions recall and about a week later the check engine light came on. Thinking this might have been associated with the recall fix, I called the dealer and they couldn't look at the truck for another month cause their "too busy". I hooked a code reader to the truck and got an error code, " under/low turbo boost". I have not felt any loss of power on the truck. I was wondering if anybody has experianced this before and if so, is the turbo going out? Or is it something electrical. I have a 4 inch exhaust from the turbo back with no cat. Also Airraid intake system. Is the truck safe to drive? (I've cleared the code once and took about a day and half to come back on under normal driving.)

Maybe your turbo vanes are hanging up intermittently. Get out on the hywy and crank it up a notch an couple of times.

BTW: If you haven't been using a quality diesel fuel additive (preferably at every fuel up) you may want to start. Just my opinion though.
