This is what bad uppies look like. See the black soot.

and this is them out of the truck. The left one just fell straight out.

If ya dont have the tell tail marks I would look at some of the other suggestions posted, re fuel bowl or EBPV. Grab a bendy mirror and a good light and have a look see.

That's the way mine were, all streaky black and falling out of the flange.
The new bellowed pipes are perfectly sealed with no loss of drive pressure for the turbo.

Thanks, the pictures are very helpful. I do not intend to rush into anything and am still taking my time learning my way around this engine as time permits. I have spent some time with the hood up simply learning what is where.
