Turns out the turbo was pieced together previously. Obviously that is a little disheartening but this is the first"major" problem I've had in 1.5 years. I'm considering selling it but I love the truck!

DON'T SELL IT! You'll just end up buying another one that's unknown to you. These are kinda addicting. ;-)

I replaced it and cleaned everything out. I haven't picked it up yet but was talking to a friend about these trucks. I could never go back to gas. The power is borderline erotic!
