Is it a lot of smoke? You may have something sitting on the turbo manifold, also how bad of a bog? Are we talking super slow climb or just a ill slower then usual? Also what is the temperature where your at?

Dude that truck looks awesome! Who cares if it runs. Seriously though, its the first production run. Ford will figure it out well within your warranty. 2011 is the data gathering period for the eco

The bog was pretty bad, I was traveling about 35-40 and needed quick acceleration it downshifted and revved up probably for about 2-3 seconds and shook/shuttered without increasing speed before I got out of the throttle. It was around 55 degrees and raining. The smoke came after the bogging probably about 2 hours or so when I was about to get back on the road from a gas station. I was in the middle of a drive from Texas to Ohio at the time, the truck acted up in Arkansas.

It could be the factory waste gate leaking as well, is it happening at the same rpm or psi every time or is it intermittently at diff levels?
