Looks like the dealer found a couple of items
1) EGR valve issues (not opening all the way)
2) Lack of fuel pressure.
No turbo issues even though it sounded to most like the vanes might be sticking. The truck is parked for 4 months over the winter and I only drive it on weekends.
Are they just saying it's fine to save work and money because it is on warranty?
Is there a way to make sure the vanes are not sticking without a boost gauge?
The truck is basically off warranty when I pick it up from the shop on Wednesday.
Should I insist they take a closer look at the turbo or trust that it passed all their tests?
What questions should I be asking to convince them to take another look at the turbo??
Thanks

How is it driving now? Hook up to something heavy and go for a ride, make it do a little work. I don't know how your dealership is about talking to the tech, but the one I go to doesn't mind. Sometimes it's good to cut out the middle man and talk directly to the guy who's going to do the work.
