HAMMER DOWN!
i don't see why jb wouldn't work. the actuator is not under any twisting stress or anything like that.

HAMMER DOWN!
i got everything back together. i will test drive tomorrow before work.
i was thinking about it more and i don't know if sealing that hole is going to cure this issue since when i plugged the wg hose it did not change my boost. i am wondering about the compression fitting on the comp housing for the WG. it is kind of sloopy. might be getting a leak there. anybody know what the thread of that hole in the comp housing is? i wan't to get a new 90* fitting with just a hose barb on the end and get a piece of hose to go from the comp housing to the wg actuator.

Not knowing how the 90 connects to the turbo outlet.
Can you just put a bolt in there and see what you get?

yes i could. i will try that tomorrow if this actuator hole was not the hole cause.

i am at a total loss now. fixing that hole in the wg head did nothing.
i took the tubing for the wg off and put a pipe plug in the hole on the comp housing and that once again lowered my max boost.
i am not going to turn my fuel up anymore since first it did not help when i first did it and second i am smoking to much now as it is.

I think your trucks haunted...
I really can't think of anything else now.

i am starting to agree with that statement.
especially plugging the wg = lowering max boost. *** is that?

how much does the timing of the IP influence boost?

this weekend i am going to take the intake snail off and check that gasket.
anything to be aware of when doing the snail gasket.

Your turbo might need some love. I put a Uhaul pump on my pickup last summer and turned up the pump as much as she'd go (then backed it off a flat) It was a smoky pig and it didn't really increase my boost that much. (and my timing was in pretty good shape) Well turns out the turbine wheel was in pretty **** pour shape. Typ4 has pics of it somewhere around here. I hadn't owned the pickup very long when this all happened, so I'm sure the Prior Owner pulled her heavy and got it warm. After a turbo rebuild, she's been building boost with the best of em

Is it possible that your muffler could be clogged? Or a restriction on the exhaust side of the turbo?

the muffler being clogged is possible since it is original.

that has entered my mind.
plugging wg=no increase in boost, sealing up-pipe leak = no boost increase, turning up fuel about .5-1 flat = no boost increase. all of which should have given me more boost but did not.
i also have ZERO hotside whistle.
How long after you shut the engine off does the comp wheel continue to spin? mine stops almost right away.

Mine had zero whistle too pre Typ4 rebuild. As for how fast the wheel stops, I can't say on this particular turbo I've ever watched that happen. On other Diesel Turbo'd pickups I've owned it was not instant or right away; it often took a few seconds to see the wheel come to a full stop
