    I lived in western NY until Nov 1996. I will not buy ‘northern rust’ since I have come to appreciate southern equipment.

    Yeah. You will get zero results unless you do a pressure test.

    Yeah just saw your videos. You buy the turbo locally? I would be taking it off and returning it for a replacement. But I know it’s not that easy when your truck can’t afford to be down another day
     
    Roadking96 Thanks this.

    What you can do right now is pull the intake hose off and spin the impeller to make sure it’s not hitting the housing and check freeplay

    Little leaks like that absolutely will not create that turbo issue you are having there

    Yes turbo was from westernstar dealership.
    I Did check the impeller.its not touching the housing.spins freely..and it had very little play.i’m guessing Thats normal??
