Just a thought, my map sensor went bad and the truck pretty much ran fine but i was avg about 12 mpg, it was terrible. But 45 dollars later, all was well i even changed it infront of auto zone.

wheatley says the MAF is working fine, the truck has no power and no boost. checked all the piping today, everything is good, it doesnt even have a tailpipe or a muffler so that should help the turbo a little, it used to hit full boost right around 3000RPM.

Like slowrolin93 said above, check your MAP sensor, which is different from your MAF sensor. If your MAP sensor is bad you would not see the correct vaccum or boost signal to the computer, and that would cause your truck to run in the wrong portion of the VE table,, that is if you are tuned for boost. This could explain quite a few of your problems. I.E., loss of power due to computer not commanding P.E. mode due to incorrect MAP sensor signal.
Check it out, let us know what you come up with. Good luck.
