I was thinking maybe there's a possibility that there could be a wire somewhere that was chewed up a little and that could cause the intermittent problems I was having at first. However, a vaccuum leak could do that same thing.
When you are doing a boost leak test on the tb and into the intake manifold are you hooking your boost leak tester up to the tb elbow?? I think I'm gonna run through that again this afternoon and make sure I didn't miss anything. I did a boost leak test when all this first started. Testing from the turbo I couldn't find anything but a small leak around the adjustment screw on my Greddy type RS bov. But I haven't tested around the tb and intake mani. Also, I thought you were gonna just go ahead and block off the EGR?? If there's no gasket behind the EGR at all maybe that's causing a lot of your problems.

Yes, I'm hooking up the boost leak testers to the TB elbow.
I decided to keep the EGR for now. I have a new gasket coming in with the TB shaft seals.
I put a new rad cap on yesterday, seems to be helping with the temps. Still a bit high but much better.
I'm installing coolant and oil temp gauges today, hopefully I can get the oil restrictor done too.
I'll post back later tonight... gotta go work now. TTYL
