    The latest findings. I pulled the exhaust side and it was sooty but oily. It did look wet when I looked past the turbine wheel on the exhaust side. I pulled the oil return line and it look good, no blockage. I tried to measure the in/out shaft play and the best I can tell is it is 3/32 to 1/18"...

    Thanks for the knowledge dump. This information is much appreciated. I have noticed the stock setup gets flat on the upper RPM. I have the valve springs on the way along with a new timing chain. I won’t be able to do all the mods at the same time. I am planning on doing this in a phased step...

    I am close to max on the stock turbo. I am running 23 to 24 lbs and i don't think there is much left. so it sounds like I will need to upgrade the converter with the turbo even if i stay with a TE44 / TA49. The transmission seems to be ok. It seems like it has a shift kit form the way it acts...

    Hoping for help diagnosing some issues with my car smoking. It only seems to happen when deaccelerating. I noticed that it coincides with when my vacuum is above 20 for more than 5 seconds. It smells of oil so I don’t think it a head gasket. The oil on the stick looks ok. I also checked the...
