try unplugging the red wire at the bottom of your wastegate by your turbo and see if that makes any difference.

I would check the valve in the exhaust that closes when the truck is cold. It may be sticking closed. I would also check the exhaust back pressure sensor. It is located in the center of the engine near the HPOP.
