Turbo Lag

[Gaither0311]

when i first step on the gas the truck seems to run on only the motor power and literally has no power. the turbo doesnt spool up untill after 30 seconds or more. i know the injectors are going but i have had this problem since i got the truck and before i replaced the turbo completely. if any one can help it would be much appreciated

If the injectors are going, it's for a reason. Are you running motorcraft or racor filters, have you checked the filters? Have you checked your fuel pressure, egr valve stuck open, do you have a monitor?

So it takes 30 seconds for the boost gauge on the dash to register?

Its my dads truck and I can't stand to sit here and watch it get destroyed. I just put a new Turbo in with an egr delete about a year ago he has a bully dog chip on his **** and keeps it performance. When you put it in gear and press the gas it has a hesataion and the Turbo is not spooling up at the right time all filters should have been done 2 months ago

I know what you mean, my old man has a 7.3 that he thinks runs fine, its got problems. I checked the boost one day, maxes out at 6psi. It runs rough, clackity clack.......etc. I just quit worring about it, he thinks it's fine, thats what matters I suppose. I have the same year 7.3 with 308k, runs better than his, with 240k or so. I hear those bully dogs are hard on transmissions. Your probably fighting a loosing battle.....idk.

what year is the truck?
tried returning to stock?
check the codes
check for boost leaks
exhaust leaks at the up pipes/manifolds
check your ebp, map and maf readings
check the ebp tube and harness
