Subscribing… I'm about where you are. Going to the E99 conversion kit from Riffraff and a bunch of other things. Just waiting for some better days. Check out my turbo not much better, Thank you K&N!

Ouch, Scotttahoe that wheel has seen more than dust. You got dents in the leading edge of that wheel. For what it's worth I picked up 7-8 PSI by just going to the WW2. Spools considerably faster than stock. Got it from Dieselsite.

Yep sucked in a rock when using K&N, when I get the conversion I'm putting in a new turbo.

If you have to wait a bit to do the conversion you can always throw in a cheap replacement wheel for now.

Hey Clay, I might do that I was going to rebuild the turbo and put it up for sale or just give it away. I broke my pelvis and cracked my spine so i'm just waiting on getting better so I can crawl around the truck, should be soon!

Yea Clay, we need a rental unit! Guess I'm off to Stewart Hose for a 10x1mm ORB and grease gun fitting tomorrow. I am going to keep you guys posted with my results when I get this thing tested this weekend. I also cleaned off my 42 pin connector and boy was it corroded.

Clay speaking of compression testers I had talked you about a ago year about if you carried or if you could get the Parker fitting M10-1/8F80HGS and I never heard back from you and I didn't followed up with you. So please let me know if you do or can.
For you guys don't know that is the fitting BigAl used to do a compression test, it is a the fitting that fits in the glow plug hole. It is made by Parker and is a M10 tread oringed male end that goes to a 1/8-27npt female end.
