is there any play in the turbo wheel?? if it was me..id change it in for a WW.. that means pulling the turbo..
get a leak detector..you might get lucky and just need to clean and tighten the boot..but if your doing the WW the boots will be right there to change or clean..
zoodad looks good..and yes strait pipe will free up some power..even on a stock one..

No play in the wheel, feels real good. I guess I'll order a WW and WG actuator Monday.
Maybe just order a new set of hoses while I'm at it.
I know the green line isn't the WG, it just slipped into the pick.

Two things, first, that wheel looks kinda rough but we have seen far worse here. More on this later. I thought the WW could be installed without turbo removal???
Second. I am not sure I would be buying new boots unless you just want them right now. That whole valley needs a good cleaning before you do anything. For all we know that is fuel residue all over there from the bowl area. Regardless, first step is cleaning that valley and make sure where it came from. Nobody wants to work in that grime only to have it continue.
Besides, nobody wants to put something new on only to get it grimey. If you have not done the CCV mod, do it. Clean the valley, then disassemble all your CAC/intake boots and clean them. Then reassemble and check for boost leaks. Be very careful about how much torque you put on those clamps. The intake plenums are not made of the stoutest stuff. Good luck.

Bowl area? What bowl, you mean the where the fuel filter sits? I can tell very easily that it's not from there. But I did get the stuff for leak test and will clean everything and do the leak test. I definitely don't want to buy things I don't have to right now.

I'm not either, but if you are talking about the bowl where the fuel filter sits, it's very easy to tell it's not from there, for one thing, it is very clean in that area, no residue, nothing around there. That intake and boot are far enough away from that bowl that there would have to be a few things covered in oil too. There is nothing covered in oil forward of that boot.

OK, just want to be sure. If you have no puddling in the valley then it may be CC vapors though that looks pretty grimey. The fan on these engines will blow a lot of fluid straight back. Clean it up and see if it still leaks. Then get her fixed up. Running w/out the wg line won't hurt as long as you are not driving around hammering the throttle or towing loads.

OK, DId a leak test, sounded like a small leak, tightened the clamps some more, no more leak.
Got the 6637 in, love it! Can't figure out why anyone thinks it's loud. Cleaned the junk off the IC tube too.
Took the EBPV tube off and made sure it was clear, what a PIA!! But it was good. How do you know if there's a problem with that system?
Thanks for the help guys!

Alright, one more question, with all I have done, the motor temps don't seem to come up very well. Not sure if it's the things I have done or the 20deg weather we are getting, but I would think the thermostat would dictate runningt temp. Do I need to partially block the radiator? We took a 1/2 drive to the movies tonight and barely got to the line above the 'C', the needle stayed just under there. Any suggestions?
