This is great! I love seeing this stuff

The updated chip came in today, so I'll most likely be installing it in a little bit. I could use a break from this whole studying thing

Huh, interesting.

Is he shifting is nicely, or nah?

I can back this up, this guy knows how to drive. I don't know why he wouldn't shift into 4th though, and just walk you

My tune is setup for max performance. It's the hottest he could come up with that's safe for a daily. Also an update on that, we figured out why the truck is really anemic in the low end; he had tune setup for a 2 bar MAP sensor, but I run a 3, so I have an updated eprom coming my way.

New update Oil leak: FINALLY FIXED!!!! New hose, gasket, an ungodly amount of RTV, and some help from my dad finally have the thing locked down. Might look into a braided line kit for when I go to put a wicked wheel on the holset. Also, my custom HX35 tune from @quadstar87 came in and is in...

So from what I can tell, my turbo oil drain needs to be replaced. I've got what appears to be about 3-4 quarts on the ground, and it appears to have come from the oil drain hose near the block.:banghead::wtf:Censored My friend suggested getting a flexible metal drain hose like they use for 3rd...

Also looks like I leaked something real bad when I got back. There's a huge spot of something beneath the truck, and I don't think it's all snow melt. I'm going to investigate, but if it's something fairly serious, I'm going to seriously consider lighting this pile of scrap on fire. It just...

Has anyone replaced the oil drain line with the stainless braided hose that you can get for the HE351 turbos? My friend suggested that I try that since replacing the gasket did nothing to fix my leak

@FellowTraveler would you happen to have a picture of where that would be? I'll be home this weekend, so I'll check it out then.

yeah, mine sounds just like that

What would a bad vac pump sound like? I'm hearing a clunking coming from that part of my motor, and I'm not too sure what it is. Oil level is fine, flexplate looks fine from what I can see, and I'm still leaking oil, but it looks like it's still coming from the turbo oil drain line, which I'll...

Okay, thanks for the input! I have noticed that under a WOT run, the ECT will run up to about 205/210, but then backs down relatively quickly after backing off. EGTs will easily hit around 1000*, and I got it to 1200 the other night when I was running low boost (8-12psi)

Conclusion: after getting into the truck a little bit, we discovered that I had an injector line guide that wasn't given a happy home, so it's not bolted down, and the noise is gone. This further proves that I'm a moron, and that my truck will give me shit for it...

A few things: 1. Turned the boost up on Friday night to around 15psi, and the truck moves wonderfully. EGTs are still alittle on the high end, but that's just how the holset runs. 2. Time for some bad news. I think it might be time for a rebuild. I'm hearing a nice, pants-filling rattle...

So, I figured I'd just create a thread for updates on my build so that I'm not running around making a bunch of different ones. Update #1: Fuel/oil leak have gotten fixed. The cause for the fuel leak was the injector return line not being fully tightened down at the FFM. The oil leak was that...

Okay, thanks

It's not sucking air, I'm just tying to things that it could be so that I cover all of my bases when I tear into it later tonight

Could the source be an injector return line that got somehow got cracked?
