Apr 08... Crap load of new parts, read above blog, waiting on some parts to get in, and for me to get it into the shop so Child’s Performance Exhaust can weld up the piping for the turbo and intercooler.
Mar 08... I GOT A NEW TURBO! *woot* ships next week, and I’m going to be in heaven! :)
Feb 08... Well it runs, lol... although the wastegate seems to be sticking so the turbo will just keep boosting if you get too heavy on the gas. (I’ve hit 24PSI by accident before I knew the problem existed, NOT GOOD!!! T-25’s are only thermically efficient to 16psi, and I’m being nice saying 16psi lol...) Not sure if I’m going to buy an external wastegate too fix the problem, or just get a whole new turbo and I/E wastegate)
