What cat is it running and have you checked piping for boost leaks?

The factory joiner at throttle body is known to split quite often on F series.

Check the hose clamps for loose hoses? Not unheard off where mechanics don't tighten them up enough :furious:

Recently had an episode with my radiator hose clamp on a different car I took in for service after they did a radiator flush - hose came off after 2 days of driving :nono:

How do I check if the piping has a boost leak?

I dunno how to use the sct tuner to check for faults also is it safe to drive :(

Are you flattening the accelerator pedal or just gradually increasing the amount of pressure your foot applies.. ? Usually they only hit full boost at WOT..

You aren't providing enough info. No one on here will be able to tell you exactly what is wrong no matter how many times you repeat it and even then we would be only guessing.

There have been a couple of suggestions made but if you aren't comfortable to diagnose them or even use the flash tuner then you need to find someone that is.

How about giving your tuner a call?
