Yep. Same truck ‘fixed’ with RDP 4+4 wheel. No more farts either.

Seems a little slow to build sometimes but stock except for RR wheel. This was on 80hp DD and only a couple hard accelerations then backing off due to speed.. NO pops 😂
sorry so shaky. Was with phone and I was driving not looking at phone for safety.

Does it seem normal for a stock turbo? Seems about right to me but but It’s my only frame of reference. Everything seems to check out leak wise.
