shiny i feel is bad. Garret is the housing, does it look sandblasted? does it have any play side side or up and down?

What rpm do you notice the turbo come in at? You won't really feel it till 2k or so. You should get in there and check for play if you're checking it out.

please use proper grammar-

that part is the CCV, it has two 10mm bolts that you can get to by removing the engine cover.

if your orange intake boot is falling apart,you can get a new one from RiffRaff-

Well said Juan. WTF is a kuz? If you want the help of adults, you're going to have to write like a big boy.

Other than a Boost Gauge, is there a way to tell if the Turbo is "effective" (used loosly). I can tell that it kicks in, but I don't feel like it is working as well as it should. i.e. I was towing a 11K Toy Hauler up a minimal Grade and the Turbo kicked in (as usual) and I had to mash the pedal to keep it over 50MPH and to keep the tirbo spooled up. First few trips towing so I am unsure if this is normal or not.
Thanks all,
