So i just got my truck back from the shop.They replace radiator,inter cooler and everything else.

Left the shop. My adrenaline was not reading boost. Egt on level 0 were at 1000 and the power was like it was in limp mode. Turned the adr up to 10. No boost, and still no power. When i looked out my mirror i was DUMPING coal.It was black didn't seem like there was any different color and egts were around 1200 (medium pedal). O and no check engine light.

Any of you guys got any ideas as to what this might be.

so in summery
!. No boost reading
2. No power
3. Dumping coal.
 
If they replaced the intercooler I would say that one or more of the boots was not connected. Start at the turbo and follow your pipe going to the intercooler and then on the driver side coming out of the intercooler and going up to the intake. If by chance they are connected check and make sure they are all completely seated around the pipes and the clamps are tight.

Also, A good sign that you have a boost leak is when you give it power and you have no power you should here a hissing noise under the hood sounding similar to letting air out of tire.

Thanks i did slightly here a hissing. A quick check over they were all on. Now im bout to go back out and check how good there seald
 
Take some soapy water and spray on them.check all your clamps and $ake sure they are tight
 
When you have a boot blow off you will know it. I used to blow then once a week.
 
by the sounds of it you have a pretty big boost leak, shouldnt be to hard to find
 
Well look over the boots. Found the boot from the cooler to the intake tube was half way off on one side. Got both sides back on but now one of the clamps went bad. So im just going back to the shop and have them fix it right.
