I just finished a turbo mod and it seems to have a EG leak. I am running short on time and need a Diesel or PS shop in the Nashville area. I am located just south in Northern AL. I would prefer someone that just deals in PS turbo mods etc. Anyone like to make a suggestion. If you are like me you only visit a shop once every 10 yrs.

Isn't Beans Diesel shop closer than Nashville for you? What exactly is leaking? EG?

 

I don't know for sure what they do there as far as what you need but here is a link: http://www.beansdieselperformance.com/

That seems to be fairly close.

Edit: Crap, got stuck looking at that destroked stuff again.

 

Thanks I will call them in the morning. I am not sure what is leaking, but I can see it puffing a little when I am trying to reconnect the Exhaust back pressure rod. Maybe it is smoking from the rod area, but I expect it is from the rear V-clamp. Thanks again.

Well, perhaps this is a fix that has been done right here. Did you do the turbo install? Ya might just be able to DIY with a little help. Fire away. I hate to have anyone touch my truck Scott. I'm willing to bet someone else has fixed the same problem.

 

Thanks for the offer, I agree with the thought of others working on my unit. Here is a quick history. I removed the turbo to change wastegate actuators. When I put it back on everything went back as expected, but I still can not get the Exhaust Back Pressure rod connected. When I started the truck I understood that the rod should extend so as to slide up onto the back pressure post, it has not. While trying to figure out how to mate the two I can see a slight dust of gas. The only join I can't check is the rear V-clamp. All V-clamps are tighten to 85 lbs/in.

When you put the turbo back on are you sure you aligned the alignment dowel or pin at the elbow on the backside of the turbo? I believe that is a problem area but most folks can't get the clamp back on when misaligned. Is this your problem area? Why can't you get to the rear clamp? Which clamp are you talking about? By gas I assume exhaust gas as from your earlier post..

A wastegate guru will hopefully be along to help with the other prob.
