Turbo goes into limp mode after 200 miles.

I have an 03 6.0 and every 200 miles the turbo gets gets loud and sounds like it blows air out of the air box(cuts out i guess)while accelerating. If i unplug the batteries and reset the system it runs great. Could this be a VGT sensor?Everytime this happens it throws a check engine light. Thanks For the Help!!

Do you have a monitor in the truck that can read live data? If not we're shooting in the dark trying to figure this out.

No. Bone stock. But we have checked the trouble codes when the engine light comes on and its alway P132B VGT Sensor. The reason i haven't changed it yet is because i have been told by many that most likely its something else. Everyone tells me i need to pull the turbo and clean it. But it seems to me that its more of a sensor problem since every time you reset the batteries it runs great.

There isn't a vgt sensor it's the vgt actuator. Take the turbo apart and clean it and go from there.
