6.0 Turbo Problem

I've noticed when I really step on the pedal (turbo's working fine) and let off the pedal to slow down then push the pedal to maintain speed the turbo isn't spooling. I go from about 32 lbs of boost to 1 or 2 at 65 MPH. Also, when I try to maintain speed or speed up after stepping on the throttle I can blow black smoke like crazy. I noticed if I let it coast down to about 50 or 55 I can hear the turbo spool backup. Anybody ever had this problem?

You're both in luck I have my old turbo for sale! Very good condition, was just taken apart and inspected/cleaned by a Ford Tech. Will sell cheap, pm if interested...

:doh: Mine does this especially when i get on the highway, stomp on it and rips and roars and then let off hit it again and all kinds of lag. I had an idea in the back of my head it was sticky but that confirms it i guess... wheres the link to the write up on cleaning it?
