Red face 03 6.0 lack of power

It's me again, bothering you guys once more. Last time had a miss, ya'll suggested a short in the harness. Found what looked to be a short, fixed it and it ran much better. Took it out on the highway and it would haul butt, but the temp started going up so I brought it back and shut it down. I had put an aftermarket egr cooler hose on it and it was leaking pretty good. I pulled the turbo so I could get to it, fixed it, put it back together and cranked it. Cranks right up, runs good, but when you start down the road it's got what sounds like a valve clatter when you give it fuel and it has no real power. It'll get up to speed fairly good but it doesn't takeoff like it did. What did I screw up this time you think? I've double checked all connections, my fuel filter, even though it only has about 4000 miles on it, and I'm at a loss again! I really appreciate all the help you guys give me and I'm asking for that help again, please!! Thanks!!
