Re: Engine problem , would appreciate your input

the kit sounds like a plan ! I appreciate that...

I want to check the waste gate and remove the c clip holding the rod in place to see if it has the proper movement , question is. How hard is it to get to the waste gate ?

is it visible and easy to get to ?

You will need to remove the inner fender to access the wastegate actuator rod clip.

Just do things right and replace all the vac lines. A quick fix is just asking for the truck to have an extended vacation on Jack stands. If you dot have datamaster or another form of datalogger I would suggest getting one ASAP.

NO MORE TEST RUNS. If you don't know the specific problem you run the risk of making a simple fix a new motor build.

Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge to verify actual boost and vacuum readings? You know the gauge on the dash is for decoration only, correct? The new owner essentials are listed in the above link. Good luck and have fun :tup:

Sounds like your intercooler pipe/hose may be leaking. They blow off all the time....
