I was going to pressure check my intakes this morning, so I took the turbo inlet hose off and for S&G's stuck my finger in there to feel the turbo. I could barely turn the turbo with my fingers, I mean it was really stiff! So, for more S&G's I started the truck with the hose off so I could watch/hear the turbo. Same gig, with exhaust gasses driving it the turbo was only spinning intermittently, really an uneven jumpy spin to it at low idle (700 rpm) so I put the chip on high idle (1300 rpm) and the turbo was at least spinning consistantly. I shut the truck off and stuck my fingers back in there again and still very stiff. I was geting no unusual noises like blade scraping or bearing squeal. What the hell is going on? I'm thinking that this turbo should just spin right over very freely by finger no?
Heres a little background info to make the story complete. I put a new chip in so I could take advantage of the rest of my Stg I injectors, initially it was clearly a night and day difference, but shortly (like the next day) I noticed that things werent as they should be, real smokey black exhaust in both the tow and extreem settings, higher than normal EGT's, even in the economy setting accompanied by low boost numbers and just a real laggy feeling to the truck. So, after talking with a few guys here I was pretty well convinced that I had HPOP issues and was (still am) working towards getting that checked out but I also called and spoke with Bean and he suggested I check my intakes for leaks which leads me upto this mornings findings.
