Surge?
My dad just got a 2000 f-350 diesel. he said in the morn when its warming up goin down the road it will act like its got more boost. he said theres a noise towards te turbo, then more power then it slows back down. any ideas on what this might be?

It would gain as it opened the lose as it closed. This is only if he holds a steady amount of pressure on the pedal. Any accel. would cause the EBPV to open. It would also need to be cold where he is driving.
