[QUOTE="James W, post: 1100218, member: 13360"] Hello, I've just bought a 2004 6.0 with 87k miles- 56k miles on a ford re-man engine after it hung an injector on the previous owner back in 06. It's a 1 owner truck that was owned by a 90 year old guy who passed away. I've been working through the maintenance on this truck after doing some reading here, I've bought a edge cts, just finished installing a coolant filter and changing over to ELC, and new ford filters etc. The truck runs nicely, fires up no problem, throws no codes etc but I've always thought it was a bit sluggish compared to other 6.0's I've driven, after installing the edge I noticed it won't boost over 12 psi, it blows black smoke when you're on it, I've read it should be building about 25psi?? I'm not really sure what I should be looking at? Boost leak? The edge is showing vgt% is changing from about 80-70% at idle to about 40% when accelerating. I can't recall what it showed at WOT. Does the turbo need to come out and be cleaned?? Or is there something else I should be looking at before going that far into the truck. I did pull the EGR valve over the weekend to clean it, it was a bit sooty but not as bad as some photos I've seen on here. Would the truck throw any codes if the turbo vanes were stuck?? Thanks!
