Hello all! After some family and medical issues, I have finally gotten the exhaust on and turbo master built. I have verified the wast gate is not stuck. When driving I still have NO boost. You can hear the unit spinning up but when I pull the hose between the turbo out and upper intake there is...

Hmmm, that must be one of the diff. between years and turbo model, 5 vs 6 vs 8, etc, mine did not have a spring in it, just a rubber diaframe. I do see, based on year of the motor and turbo version that some of the controllers are mounted differently. Im sure I will find something if I keep...

Hello all, sorry I have not gotten back on this, things have been crazy and I have not had alot of time to work on finishing things up. One of the last things I have to do it finish building my turbo master. Where are those of you who built your own finding the springs? everything I can find...

Hey guys! Thanks for the help and advise. I built a Turbo master ad while I haven't been able to get out and test it like I would like, should it not even push air out the outlet port on the turbo, while I had the top intake off, I could put my hand in front of the outlet, vary the RPMs and feel...

That makes sense and before I do anything like replacing it or such Ill finish my exhaust and drive it, but Im pretty sure it needs a rebuild as I have oil in the intake on the output side so Im sure some seals are toast

No, I have not driven it yet, I have to get the exhaust finished. The boost gauge is hooked up to one of the ports on top of the top portion of the intake where one of the computer sensors was originally. As I mentioned, I removed the uper intake to get a feel for what the turbo was pussting out...

I have been working over the winter getting the turbo installed on my newly rebuilt 6.5l. I had been running it N/A as I ran out of time with the cold and funds last fall to complete the turbo install. This last week, i got it finished and one of the first things I did after checking for leaks...
