Default 1997 F350Dually

Mechanic replaced 4 injectors on drivers side of engine. Turbo doesn't seem to be boosting. Truck sat for about a month and was fine when I parked it.. I am confused. Engine runs good but it takes a while to build up road speed. Any ideas? This truck has a 7.3 power stroke with no modification done.

I took it to a mechanic. This is over my head. Thanks for the help and I will check that fuel leak. Will the fuel leak keep the turbo from boosting??
