OK i got the turbo out and took some pics so everyone can see what it looks like.
It turns out that the downpipe is custom fab and not a flat plate like we (eric & I) thought. I also measured the exhaust and its a straight 3" the whole way. So I dont think that was causing the low boost.
Here you can see where the exhaust was leaking out the side where the studs are bad. Ill be fixing that tomorrow.
There was oil, at least I think its oil, in both sides of the intake side of the turbo. Is this normal or is somthing causing this? Overall how does the turbo look?
