poor performance. help!

When i start my truck it usually gives a few big quick idle fluctuations and is fine. I let it warm up and then drive. In first gear the truck barely moves. i dont hear or feel the turbo at all. when it finally hit second gear, it is still slow but then the turbo kicks in and it moves ok. on the highway when i floor it it moves out well. It feels like the incredible hulk is pushing on the front end when i am driving in first and second. I dont think it has anything to do with the transmission. It doesnt throw any codes ever. The turbo compressor wheel looks good. I was thinking it was the cam position sensor or the injection sensor but after searching and reading now i dont know. please help.

If it came on suddenly ,, there may be other problems as well ,, But it may be the EBPV tube is plugged , if it is , the sensor can't measure exaust pressure & the vlve may not be opening properly ,,,Could be oil related also...

std question since your new here. Did it just start doing this when it got cold out? Odes it still do this when the engine has warmed up?

I got the truck last year when the weather started changing and it was still semi warm out maybe in the 50's and 60's. It still does it when warm but it is amplified when it gets cold. i will check on the ebpv.
Thanks,
James
