Hey Team,
So awhile back I posted the pictures of the engine bay and a couple of the guys saw that I had a T in my BOV vacuum line, and said that I should remove it. So I ordered up a bunch of new line and started to work on that on Friday. Following the diagram, I noticed that the aftermarket air cooling piping is missing a port to return the system to stock lines. I am guessing that is why they had the system the way they did. So let me explain what I found.
They had completely bypassed the waste gate solenoid. Had the vacuum line running from the waste gate actuator T'ed into the BOV vacuum line instead. I think this was done because the current pipping is missing the port for the proper T off the waste gate that is suppose to go > Waste Gate Actuator > Waste Gate Solenoid > to a location located after the turbo but before the cooler.
The main issue is I simply cant at this time return the lines to stock. I was hoping to get everyone's opinions, she seemed to run fine once I reconnected the BOV bypass line back to the intake, the stalling stopped anyways, as for performance well I haven't really put her through any paces yet.
While I was checking out the lines I was also planing on swapping out the oil pressure gauge, got underneath and noticed that I couldn't find the damn thing. My guess is that they replaced the oil pump and never installed the gauge? Thoughts? Thanks for all the support.
Here are some pics as I was returning the lines to stock, only to run in to this road block.
