Truck not running right....

Ok fellas, I've searched for a fix on here but can't find any info.

While driving my truck, it boggs down when I get out of the throttle real bad. And it sounds like the turbo is working harder.....even after driving it for 2 hours straight and warmed up hotter than Jessica Simpson! Threw a "back pressure" code is what my local wrench told me...and says this is normal...I don't think so.

Yea...I'm a newbie.

sounds like your exhaust back pressure valve is screwing up. if you keep serching on here you should be able to find good ways to fix it, its located on the outlet of the turbo and you can eather wire the valve open or take off your down pipe and take it out.

you could unplug the valve causing it to stay open by disconnecting the plug under the turbo
