Aftermarket turbo benefits?

I just added a B1-02-04W to my arsenal along with the HOT Juice/EZ stack and I took it on a 5 hour road trip to break it in. 3/4 the way through the trip I noticed I lost power at start up. The truck runs and idles great so I dont think anything broke. It just needs to spool to 10-15 psi and 2000+ rpms before the truck gets moving. Is this normal? Is it my boxes? Stock Injectors?I have no idea, but I know I lost that 1600-1800 rpm grunt and now it waits to spool. What would cause the truck to now require more boost to get moving?



My truck has only 4950 miles, and I also just added the DTT transmission so I don't think it's the transmission slipping. The wastegate is set to 40 although on the Juice/A I have only seen 36-39. Also I am now hearing the turbo chuffle quite a bit and it didnt do that at first. Any help would be great.
 
Just got off the phone with Olee from Power by Poole and he says it might be boost leak or my EZ went down. Anyone know of a good way to check the EZ?
 
One easy thing to do is pull the intake tube and check to be sure the turbo spins freely and the shaft doesn't have endplay.
 
Did you install everything yourself or did you have a shop do it? If you dropped that much coin at a shop, I would take it back there and have them make sure everything is running right. Youl should be able to turn to wherever you bought the stuff from for tech support.
