Slow To Boost - No Exhaust Brake

[blacksmook]

Hi all.

TIA for reading and any help you can provide.

I have a 2011 RAM 2500.

Almost exactly a year ago, I swapped my stock turbo for a Fleece Cheeta.

Two weeks ago, I went running an errand, and the truck was slow to make boost, would surge, and had no exhaust brake.

I had two codes, P00AF, and P003A.

I pulled the turbo, called Fleece, and they sent me a return label.

They said that the actuator was terrible (no surprise) and that the compressor housing had a crack.

They replaced both and sent the turbo back.

After putting the turbo back in, I still had the same symptoms and a new code, P0102.

I found that I had no 12v on the middle MAF plug wire and that fuse M21 which is for ASD #3, was blown.

I replaced the M21 fuse, had 12V going to my MAF, and turbo actuator plugs again, but still the same symptoms as before.

I have a turbo-back 4inch straight pipe exhaust, safe intake, and air filter, EGR delete, Cheeta turbo, and a Mercenary Autocal from Anarchy Diesel.

I thought maybe it was the TIPM or a wire, but I have driven the truck all around town, and on the highway, a bunch the last couple of days, the codes haven't come back, the fuse is still good, but still tons of black smoke at low speed takes a long time to get up to max boost, and no exhaust brake at all.

I reflashed this morning, and with no change at all.

When I did some data logging this morning, my VGT desired and actual is 0%, but I think maybe the PID isn't reading correctly or something.

I have attached a screenshot of that.

Thanks again for all of the help.
