Question on p0299 engine code

[Elvisp]

I thought it was a 0255 code but I guess i cant see very well. when it showed the code again it was a p0299 Low turbo boost pressure. But I still cant see any difference in the performance or power. can someone tell me a little about this and what it means?

I assume you have a 6.0 and if you do it could mean your turbo is getting sticky and not boosting properly. It needs to be removed and cleaned. Normal for this engine unless your drive it like you stole it.

I have never taken off my turbo to clean it out. I get on it like I STOLE it every time I get onto the freeway/highway. These engines NEED to be driven HARD. You don't have to destroy it but do floor it. These are not good grocery getters. Use a gasser for that.
