So I finally got all the thing i needed to build a BLT device. Thanks to ace hardware... I only made one stop. So after I got everything put together, I pulled off my intake accordion and there was oil residue in there...woooo.... But I pressurized the system and my boost gauge slowly went up to ~6PSI where it stayed based on a leak that is coming from the Intake manifold. I poured a cup of dish soap and water mix on different places of the manifold while under pressure and found where it was leaking based on a sound change. From what i can tell... the area that the throttle cable connects to through the manifold is the culprit of a LOT of leaking air. I don' know how to fix that portion. I was hoping a hose. haha. But I also checked my turbo's shaft play and there was no play. So anyways if anyone has come across this before or knows how to fix it I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
