Re; Sluggish 8V

From experience, I would check the exhaust to turbo pipes. Sounds like one of them has developed a leak if it is totally gutless at take off but seems ok when up to speed. Look carefully at the flange areas inside the clamps that hold them to the exhaust manifolds. You may have to loosen the clamps and remove the pipes to check the flanges. A good truck parts house can supply flange extensions to replace the bad ones if that is it. The pipes themselves are VERY hard to locate, even used. Don't ask how I know. LOL

Let us know what the solution is.

Even after ckecking all other factors, I would have the valves and injectors checked. I had mine done at 200k, and while the valves were good, the injectors needed adjusting. Now has more getup and go with less smoke.
