Nah,it doesnt leak nowhere.it was my fault didnt tigthen 2 rear end valve cover bolts.
but i have issue with low boost.ebpv tube and sensor both new,icp,cps(dark blue),ipr valve,fuel tank new.butterfly tied in open position.
gauge only shows about 12-13lb on freeway full throttling.
i have 6pos chip.removed exhaust up to transmission so no muffler nor cat.fuel screen in bowl clean,but i didnt check fuel pressure yet.
i dont need a lot.just reasonable acceleration and maintain 65mph without having step on throttle hard.😒
ima read more.smh people fixing their trucks.
is autoenginuity worthy $350 ?
thank u.
