@Brotherbillstruck i did do a visual test and didn’t see anything wrong and didn’t feel anything wrong but it sure acts like a boost leak. I was meaning pressure test the exhaust system like the whole exhaust, up pipe and all. I’ll check the video, thank you!

 

Hey everyone! I had a couple more questions, I’ve been trying to find this leak for a while now and I know it’s on the passenger side of the engine and I used a hose to stick down there and put it to my ear and I know I have a small exhaust leak around the turbo and the down pipe. And it sounds like a ton of air and like the squealing is coming from where the EGR hooks into the y pipe. Could this be causing the loss of power and a bad sequel like that? Has anyone had any experiences like this? Thank you

 

Have not experienced what you are describing. It kind of sounds like turbo/ pipe alignment though. Most I’ve read here leave turbo mounting bolts loose and do the pipe clamps first then tighten everything down. Jack(Toomanytoys) put this up a while back and might be helpful to you? It is for an ‘05, however.

I finally got it figured out! It was a combination of the EGR’s metal gasket being cracked and the up pipe not being completely flush on the turbo. I really appreciate all the help from everyone! Thank you guys very much.
