Ok guys good news! I think I may know what happened here. When I was installing my Anzo headlights I had to remove the push tabs on the air intake duct scoop in order to access a ground to connect a relay wire for the hid kit I installed. Putting everything back together I found that one of the two push tabs wouldn't go all the way in. If you can imagine the flat top of the tab sitting at 30 degree angle to the surface it was being mounted into. To me it felt secure and I didn't think much of it. Anyway, since I can't have my truck looked at until tomorrow and also being Sunday I spent a good while looking around at everything that could remotely be related to the problem I was experiencing. I was getting really frustrated because I could find no leaks, tears, disconnected lines, or anything that looked damaged. I was literally about to close the hood when I noticed the air intake tabs BOTH undone!! I thought how could they have both come undone? I sort of lifted up the intake scoop and tried to move it around to see what it would take to get the push tabs out. It wasn't much and when it did snap up I saw the lower part of the scoop bend upwards blocking a good portion of the entire scoop. It got me thinking and I believe when going at higher speeds the push pins must have lifted up and the scoop became loose causing it to lift and block a large amount of air from entering the engine. I got some leftover gorilla double sided mounting tape and taped that sucker down. Ok so now I thought should I test drive it? I don't want to mess my engine up or turbos more than they already could be. I took the risk and it payed off. I went around my neighborhood taking it easy and while at first I couldn't hear the turbos even under light acceleration but in time I could hear them coming back on!! I was sooooooooo excited! Not only did my engine feel like it once did but the check engine light went away when I was driving it! Guys I can't describe how happy I am! I'm still going to bring my truck into the dealer to see what they say and take a deeper look into my truck and see if any harm was done. I also did notice that my engine engine idles maybe 100 rpms or so more than usual. I just changed my oil to some good synthetic two weeks ago and it lowered my idle to just a hair over the 500 rpm mark. So I hope the dealer can see what the deal is with that. Alrighty guys so this may have been 100% my fault but I'm still glad I was able to figure it out. Also more importantly thank you guys so much for taking the time and telling me where to look and giving me great advice.
