Need help!

[Firefighter95]

Hello gentleman, I have a 2006 f250 an while I was at work yesterday I cleaned my EGR well this Mornin I got in my truck to come home and was driving along and let off the gas pedal and it usually "turbo farts" but today it didn't so I kept driving and then got going about 55 and I could hear like a whoosh sound coming from my turbo till I let off the pedal, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

how about the performance? does it feel like it's building boost the same?

Well when I'm on the highway it normally runs around 16-19ish but today it was around 10-13, the turbo spools up the same and I have the same performance, it just sounds like an air leak when my boost is around 10 and higher

then you probably have a boost leak somewhere. inspect all boots carefully. specifically the turbo to IC pipe boot. very common failure.
it's either a boost leak or an exhaust leak. carefully inspect for soot around the firewall, behind the turbo. you may need to look from underneath with a flashlight.
sometimes it helps to start the truck and from underneath, feel up near the y pipe bellows for exhaust escaping through crack

Is it ok to drive it like that for a day or 2?

If you just pulled your egr, suspect those orings and gasket.
