Electronic Throttle Control-HELP

2005 F250 Diesel

Just had the Vanes cleaned on Turbo. Been running it hard since, about a month. Wrench light just came on and book says Electronic Throttle Control. I was going up a hill and stomped on it, made a pop-jerk motion, and light came on. Absolutely no power.

Does anyone think this could be related to the work done on the Turbo? Or is it really the Turbo and not the ETC?

Not under warranty anymore. Suggestions?

Thanks

6.0L Turbo Replacement

Well, out of warranty on 2005 F250. Need 2nd turbo in 50K miles and lemon law doesnt apply.
Any recommendations on what turbo to replace with so that I don't have to replace every 13K miles? Don't want remanufactured either. I know cost is more, but tired of this B.S.

Running synthetic oil now. Also, in California. Know about driving it, etc. but it is a 2nd vehicle for horses/boat. Thanks
