I don't know if anyone else has had this issue. There is a small hose that runs to the actuator on the turbocharger. It provides air pressure so that when you reach the appropriate RPM it forces the turbocharger to function. I am now referring to the connection that is below the air filter where it connects to the turbo charger. The hose OD is about 5/16 of an inch. It is held in place by a small self tightening spring clamp and this hose has just slipped off several times. The symptoms vary from an outright alarm saying check engine(useless to say the least) to not being able to reach 4,000 RPM at WOT and a fluctuation of 130 RPM from 3,700 to 3,830. I have finally gotten a screw clamp small enough to tighten around the hose. Hopefully this will end the issue.
Just figured I would let everyone know of my particular issue in case it happens to you.

Hope you used a stainless steel hose clamp.
