Of course we do. Did you check all of your intake boots? Up pipes for leaks? What have you checked? So far we have a clunk, low/no boost and high egts. I suppose it is still not making any boost and is pretty powerless?

Did you pull of the intake and inspect the impellar, and shaft? If that appears to be OK visually, could your map line have come off or developed a leak? This would cause the puter to not add fuel though I am not sure about those EGTs.

I guess you could disconnect all of that ITP and Boost Gauge plumbing and go direct to the MAP to see if power returns and try to isolate a a map signal leak if all of the other CAC plumping is secure.

I assume there is no SES light? Where do you live? Maybe you are close to someone with an AE.

Do you still have you EBPV? Could it have come unhooked and closed? That would raise you EGTs and lower your boost.

45 minutes between your first post and this on in the middle of the afternoon while we all are at work.

I guess since you now have it at the shop we'll just wait for the story.

Well, been in the shop all day eh? I guess they "got right on it". Gotta love the shop. I suppose we will be awaiting that diagnosis.

To be fair, most shops are not just waiting around for us to show up. On the other hand, most folks here try to fix their rigs themselves. Then there's the folks who have to work and don't have time. I hope it works out for you, but at any rate you have no truck right now. Good luck.
