he may not have a boost issue, that is all my truck would do and it builds the same way as mine does, i have no leaks on the boost side, i have no exhaust leaks,
after the intercooler and all the other mods it still builds boost the same as his and i can hit 20 psi if i hold it to 3400, but it is a slow climb and just barely hits that mark just before the limiter, i think a video is in order today before i head out,

Joe, the big difference between your truck and his is....his a dog.

Birdoprey, here is a list of items that the repair manual says to confirm for a Lack/Loss of Power:

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
  • Perform the following preliminary checks:
    • Confirm brakes are not dragging
    • Confirm transmission and axle fluid levels
    • Confirm transmission and axle tube are not "cooked"
    • Check for engine overheating
    • Check for oil in coolant
    • Check engine oil level
      • Confirm oil change within 8046.5 km (5000 miles), (5632.6 km [ 3500 miles] if severe duty)
      • Check Filter Minder
      • Check MAP sensor hose for holes, blockage, or disconnection. Confirm grey (not black) MAP sensor: F4TF-9S480-AA
      • Check intake manifold system for leaks with soapy water with engine running. Include orange seals, gaskets and fittings
      • Confirm acceptable SAE oil viscosity:
        • 15W-40: above -18°C (0°F)
        • 10W-30: from -23° to +32° C (-10° to 90°F)
        • 5W-30: below 10°C (50°F)
      • Check fuel quality by opening filter drain and cranking engine
      • Confirm proper dipstick part number:
        • Econoline: F5UZ-6750-A (Navistar: 1824405C1)
        • F-Series: F4TZ-6750-E (Navistar: 1824405C1)
    • Check for sufficient clean fuel
    • Check for an intake restriction
    • Check MAP sensor hose
    • Check for proper MAP sensor (grey)
    • Check intake manifold for leaks

It could also be weak injectors, on average they need to be rebuilt every 150,000 miles. This could cause the low power issue
