check all of your inter cooler boots sometimes they loosen up and you lose all your boost.
Also im kind of confused as to why you have a 6 inch exhaust it doesn't need to be that big 4inch exhaust is rated for trucks under 600 hp 5inch is rated for trucks with up to 1500 hp Im not sure what problems this would cause but I know it isn't necessary I've never even heard of 6inch exhaust on a light duty truck.

if your boost line between your turbo and afc is broken or leaking power will be way down, ask me how i know

the 6 inch wont really hurt anything. might loose a little bottom end power but its all a matter of opinion after 4 inch, i think 5 sounds better that 4 but that's my opinion, bully dog makes a 6 inch but it is overpriced and i don't see the point
