    Oil leak and hard start

    My guess on the leak would be the pedestal seals or the EBPV actuator arm seal on the pedestal. Not sure if either of those would affect the starting problem though??? I'm sure someone else will chime in with the exact answer and you'll be up and running in no time.;tu

    EBPV not working.

    Might be a stoopid question.... but what is this "tube" you speak of?? I ask because my EBPV is not working after recent turbo re-install, doesn't idle up either.

    Installed ported housing, now maybe issue's????

    Thanks! All that stuff checks out BJS. Zookie, that got my attention. I checked a few other websites from companies that provide wastegate actuators and a few that do have instructions say to "pre-load" the actuator when hooking it up. I did not do that, there was absolutely no...

    Installed ported housing, now maybe issue's????

    I was reading the Banks installation instructions for their Big head actuator and they say to pre-load the arm before installing. I didn't do this on mine, could that be the problem? I better find Ron's number again and see if I can get any info out of him on that part of it.

    Installed ported housing, now maybe issue's????

    Okay, first of all I'm not real familiar with the terminology of some of these parts so bear with me. I installed a ported turbo housing from Ron's and now I seem to have some concerns. The turbo seem's to be working fine, all I really have to go by is the "whistle" since that is...

    Oil in the CCV bypass tube???

    As far as I know there is NO performance advantage. The purpose is to keep the air intake and turbo housing free of the oil residue. And after seeing what my bypass tube looks like I'm glad the oil is in there and not in my intake tube. Dripping on the exhaust would probably not be a good...

    Adding a ATS turbo housing.. what about a rebuild kit?

    It's got the wicked wheel, I just sent that and the rest of the stuff to Ron's for a balance (hopefully the turbine wheel is salvageable after my severe brain fart). What is the EBPV delete I hear people talk about? I figure while I'm in there I just as well take care of any other mods...

    Removing turbo, exhaust manifold connection?????

    Take the nut all the way off the clamp and remove the clamp completely. Works better if you spray some penetrating oil around it first and let it penetrate a little bit What not to do when disassembling turbo - DO NOT forget to take the base off of the turbing housing before trying to tap out...

    Removing turbo, exhaust manifold connection?????

    I don't remember the exhaust manifold connection from the rear giving me such a fit the last time I had it out. Seems like the clamp is stuck or something, any tips on getting that sucker off!!!!

    Adding a ATS turbo housing.. what about a rebuild kit?

    Wasn't aware turbo's had pistons????:D I'm just talking a rebuild kit for the turbo itself. Like this kit. Is it something I should do since I'm going to have it apart?

    Oil Choice Question

    Amsoil for me. Bumper to bumper. 168k and ticking. Got an 04 for work and the shop put Rotella 15/40 in it this last time with a Wix filter. Mileage dropped considerably and it was set to be back in for an oil change in 3,000 miles (which in this case was a week later). I run 12K on Amsoil...

    Adding a ATS turbo housing.. what about a rebuild kit?

    I've got the wicked wheel and it didn't help at all. I see kits that have Gaskets, seals, bearings, collars, bolts, etc. for like $100.

    Oil in the CCV bypass tube???

    I park in the garage about every night and I don't have any dripping on the floor. I run the hose all the way back to near the fuel tank and put a low spot in it in hopes it would trap anything that might get in there over the years. I think I'll find a fitting and get it plumbed in the...
