i put the k and n intake sytem on my 2006 ps, ran it for 15000 miles took it to ford for warranty work, they checked the turbo it was what they call dusted, and they said that fine dust was passing thru the k and n filter right into the impeller, some of the finish had come off the impeller due to this dust passing thru it, it looked like the impeller was sandblasted, so i am sending this system back to k and n for a refund, i put the factory system back on, until i have money for a afe stage 2 magnum force intake system with pro guard 7 filter.........

Maybe bad info on my part but I had put the K&N on for mpg not performance, which gave me only 1 mpg gain.

After you change to larger injectors, add Methanol/Water, Nitrous, new head bolts etc, then you can think about changing the air cleaner to an aftermarket system. At which point increased wear on the turbo will be of little concern sense at this level of modding engine component failures are to be expected.
You may want to look at "npccpartsman" post a little closer he know from which he speaks.
Hope this helps

well there are issues with the turbos. but the main issue is not the turbo it is the driver. not enough driving, not enough full boost conditions, causes rust and carbon build up making the turbo "suck". you should be getting at least 22 psi if someone does a boost test. if not then it could be a backpressure issue or something else.

trust me how well i know. on these trucks, one thing can cause a snow ball effect along with alot of other issues. by any chance have you checked the egr valve? the slightest crack will kill boost in an instant. you mentioned earlier that you keep hearing a hiss. put the stock airbox back on and see if you can still hear a hiss. if you can the ypipe is toast probably, which can kill boost. if the ebp sensor is readin irratic your boost will be affected, if the map sensor hose is off, cracked, or clogged it will kill boost. if you have a early build 6.0 then alot more can kill boost. on these the computer can. check and see if you have a icp sensor on the right valve cover and get back to us. i will start the scratching head process if you can fill in the blanks.

It would be on the passenger side front corner of the valve cover. If it's not there then it's under the turbo and you have an early 6.0 build. Not necessarily a bad motor either--just takes a little different tuning strategy--lol.

unplugging it might not solve the concern. unless your 04 is a california build then no light will come on. if it is carboned then you can clean it off. but since it is fixing to go in just let the guys know you dont have any power and they will go from there. let us know when you get it fixed.
