I also have been hearing a lot from guys on FTE that even if they did the latest flash, they may have not taken the time to complete it. I hear this can cause some issues.

Perhaps it was misdiagnosed as a turbo problem. I'd take it back and tell them it still isn't right. You may have an EGR valve or injector issue that would have caused a low boost condition, rather than a bad turbo.

Does it do it all the time? If it does then I would stay local. With no repair facilities open this weekend it wouldn't be smart.
