my 2005 6.0 liter loses boost and power after i let off the fuel and give it fuel again while driving down the highway, could it be my EGR or Injector?

Do you have gauges. Check how much boost rye.making . The turbo vains might be sticking

my turbo is only putting out about 22psi and its a factory turbo not an aftermarket one,

Did you also get black smoke out of the exhaust when the loss of power occured?

Mine was doing the same thing. Ended up being EGR valve staying open. Got it changed, now the same thing is happening again. I read that shtuff can accumulate in the pipes and clog even a brand new valve. I have to bring mine in again.

My all stock 05 doe sthe same thing, If you let off the gas and get back in it, it will not spool back up. I cant get it to run over 5lbs anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Get a new egr valve and take it in for a egr delete kit
