Turns out it had a dropped intake valve. Customer decided to overhaul it because it had a bit of mileage on it. After the overhaul truck runs really smooth, but has no balls. Bobtail it drops 15mph going uphill and is only making 15psi boost. Truck was deleted before he came in and was having 0 issues with low power other than the chuck if valve missing. Other than the head and cylinder packs, i replaced the turbos with new units. At this point I'm at a loss. If this was a 12.7 i would have this sorted out by now but i am not as familiar with the new stuff. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated. I've went over the timing twice, got fuel pressure, no leaks in the charge air cooler, I'm leaning towards this aftermarket head has some issues or maybe the injectors are shot.

Pull the egr u-pipe and make sure its welded shut if the egr is deleted. Also if the egr is deleted there is a 99.9% chance it was done incorrectly. Nobody that ive been able to find knows how to properly delete egr on a dd15 and if they say they do they are most likely full of shi#t.

There is little to no one that can properly deman these engines due to no engineering tool being avaliable, that being said there was more than likley no changes to the tables needed to remove EGR, so there for if he blocks the egr off the injection timing will be threw the roof,
Double check the egr valve make sure it moves freely and is not hung in the open position
