One problem solved / More problems found
Went to dive into finding my oil leak. Suspected the HPX and was right.
I did this modification long ago since I have access to making my own hydraulic lines. The driver side "adapter" was loose as a goose. Tightened her up, FIXED. For the most part.
I had pulled the intake hose to get to the fittings. Beginnings of a dusted compressor wheel.
Also confirmed my up-pipes are leaking substantially more than I anticipated.
Sorry for the lame cell phone pics.......

My turbo compressor side looked almost that bad and I have been running it with no problems for over 40,000 miles so far. I had a K&N. If you have a K&N ditch it. I had no luck with it and it didn't seal well causing dirt/dust ingestion.

I've had the 6637 filter on for a while now. I believe my culprit was the hole in the intake tube that took the green line. I had a vacuum cap glued on there and I bet it was leaking dirt somehow. Changed that up with a tight fitting screw and some silicone.
I'll probably go ahead and get the up-pipes on there as soon as other financial responsibilities are taken care of. Then get the ATS compressor housing and use my stock compressor wheel I have laying around.
