Boost drops to zero, picks up again.

Boost drops to zero, picks up again.
Made two trips in the last mo. 1 to Calif, from Wa.
One to Or. from Wa.
Cruising along at about 58, boost drops
to zero, motor still runs, picks up again.
Will cycle like this mabe2-3 times a minute.
Then run great for miles, then starts again.
Can get rpm's up by putting foot into throttle.
Any ideas what's happening?

it depend on engine load. fuel burn causes heat, heat in turn spools the turbo. air by itself does not. the air expansion by heat is what spins the turbo. both of my trucks to the same on the flat until i hit a hill. then they spool up. head winds will make my boost higher than tail or no wind at any given speed (highway of course). with no wind on the flat at 70 mph i see 5-7 psi. tail winds at 70 on flat i see 0-2 psi. head winds is 10-15 depending on how strong it is.

Check the connections on the VE shut down solenoid. It is located on the back of the injection pump. It will have 1 or 2 wires connected to the top of it. Better yet I would replace the stock connectors with either spade connectors or ring terminals. Those loose connections can create the same symptons as you describe.
