Default help 1999 7.3 hissing under low acceleration

my 1999 is hissing under low acceleration,hot or cold,
i changed the EBV and tube
turbo pedastel / base new o rings,
muffler and pipes ,stock

its intermitent at low rpms,feels as though it looses power till hissing goes away
the turbo was inspected and is in good condition as far as the impelar and bearings.
changed oil,fuel filters,all intercooler hoses and turbo hoses seem to be tight no carbon,no carbon on down pipes donuts,new glow plugs,starts and runs great except for the hissing and power loss
HELP PLEASE

There should be no codes... Your truck is doing what it should under light accel and when idleing.

Your Exhaust Back Pressure Valve is closing, causing the noise and also putting your motor under more load to help it warm up. I'm betting you live somewhere that it does not get cold very often and now it is???

Completely normal.

It closes to build back pressure, not opens. FYI

the sound is more like the pressure releasing somewere under the hood,like a prolonged blow off valve sound,long hiss until you remove your foot from the pedal,at low rpms,
