Default Really confused

Okay so I put new injector in a few weeks ago trucks been running good an last few days been sluggish an low power smoke like when erg cooler went. Well I stalled it out still does hot no start sometimes. Well after jump starting it it was alive like really alive idt it even had that much power brand new. The draw back was won't idle just stalls when Rpms drop so I almost got it to my moms house closest place. Any ideas? Oh it seems as if some govenrn or something broke or some green emissions part broke an can run

Oh I also noticed the turbo really didn't need to wrk. The engine seemed to be running very very well except for couldn't low idle

I went back an started it an went back to way it used to be. I'm curious as to what wasn't wrking right to give it way more horsepower.

Sounds like a high pressure oil leak to me.

When you put the new injectors in did you install new standpipes? they are not supposed to be reused once taken apart. Also have you put the new style dummy plugs in too? If not might want to get the kit that comes with the dummy plugs and standpipes.

Ok after re-reading this and what you're telling me now, I'm not sure it's a high pressure leak.

I would get it on a scanner and monitor ICP desired and ICP actual, as well as IPR % duty cycle. There is no point guessing at what is going on when we can just eliminate it or narrow it down with a scanner.
