Default Possible Turbo Problem???

Driving to work on the highway, doing 65mph with cruise control on and turbo starts to spool nothing to about 5 and decreases and keeps doing it. There was no incline and has never done it before so i slowed down to stop it from doing it. Make it off highway and have loss of power and turbo huffing and puffing like mad. And even time i give a little pedal turbo huffs and puffs when i let off... Any suggestions??

Hey buddy I recently had my turbo rebuilt and they said that there was a recall on the "turbo sensor" or something like that. I had the same exact problem. I cant really remember. Ask one of the ford mechanics there they should know right away. Recently there having guys come in for that I was one of six that day ill make a call and try to find out the exact name.

The turbo vanes stick in these trucks a lot. Usually happens from letting them idle excessively and driving like a grandma.

That helps a lot, when going to work I take my time barely getting on the little guy. And heading home is about same way cause most the time I'm tired as hell.. Thanks for the help i going to start getting on it. When I get on that pedal should it be all the time or here and there?
