Hi, new to the site & new to my 99.5 F250 7.3L.  Spent more time than I care to admit searching online for answers, but came with a few questions..
 
At startup, the truck does a a load 'whoosing' noise when driving.  It does it under light load, and goes away when you step on it.  I have power loss during this noise, and the both issues go away 5-10minutes in.  Searching online it seems like the EBPV, but the truck does this pretty frequently at startup, even when ambient temps are +60'F.  Occasionally, it will do the same at start up after sitting for ~1hr, but its primarily in the AM when I first get in and everything is at ambient.
 
If I leave the truck idling at first startup, it also sometimes goes into high idle after a minute or 2, again even when ambient temps are +60'F.  It will kick back down by pressing the gas or brake.
 
I am interested in converting the EBPV into an exhaust brake at somepoint (seen the forums), but I would think I should resolve this issue first.

Thanks for the quick reply.  It definetly sounds like it is coming from the engine compartment, near the area of the turbo.  It only happens while driving cold, not at idle, so its difficult to diagnose on the ground.  The noise sounds almost like a steam whistle, but not as high pitched or pronounced. Similar to someone saying "shhhh!" as loud as they can. I'm pretty confident its not a clogged exhaust nor a fan clutch.
 
I looked around and the only thing I found last night was the exhaust gasket between the left manifold and the pipe leading up to the turbo is leaking a little (you can feel it 2" away on your hand @ cold idle). 
 
I don't think that is it, though I am not sure.

well i would definetly have it scanned for codes. if it's a sensor it should show up. ebp. shouldn't cause a driveability issue unless the exhaust is clogged (put hand over tail pipe)  whooshing sound could be a boost leak check gauges and all boots to intercooler and turbo for a small leak. could even be a clutch fan noise and when it heats up alittle it goes away. hope this helps

Turbocharger Basics - Choosing The Right Turbo
Turbocharger Basics - Diesel Engines - Diesel Power Magazine
From 400 Hp To 800 Hp, We've Got Your Street Truck Covered

Turbos And Towing
If you tow heavy loads (10,000 pounds or more) a larger turbo might be a good idea. Why? Towing puts the engine under a tremendous load, which means exhaust gas temperatures need to be a priority. An aftermarket turbocharger (or better yet, two compound turbochargers) will flow more air even at part throttle, resulting in lower EGTs across the board. With a diesel engine, running richer will make more power, but leaner will be better on exhaust gas temperatures. If you're adding more fuel to your truck to tow up hills, make sure you balance it out with more airflow.

The Eternal Diesel Truck

The word "power" has many different meanings. The one that first comes to mind is strength, or force, which is measured in quarter-mile times, GVWR limits, and dyno results. Another component of power is the ability to act, and this is measured in long-term dependability like tonnage hauled and miles driven without a major breakdown. Diesel Power recently came across a textbook example of the latter definition.
