No O ring means lost boost, build a boost pressure tester and check for air leaks.

Boost tester is in the glove box. It was tested and that did not show as a leak. I will know soon as I have put the stock turbo to plenum piece in. If it builds boost then I will remove the grill and test the rest of the system.

The truck now makes 22psi and 1200* is harder to get to. I feel like a fool. Last time I had the spider out I spent a lot of time making sure the oring was in there.

I am looking for one


It seems to come in waves here. I was under the hood looking for a fuel leak as it smells like fuel. Valley was dry all looked good. Then I noticed the heater hoses.



A bit too shiny for my liking....

Turns out the fuel is coming through the hoses and the degas bottle is a mess.

My suspected cup issue is real.

Have you been looking down here or is it too hard to transfer the title up North? I've seen some pretty nice deals lately.
