yea thanks again for telling me to join. yea sorry that kit was in such bad shape the guy before me beat the truck it was on and i ran it till it gave up. glad you got it rebuilt and working good for you!

That would be my bad [emoji113]

 

[FastestIdIinthe707]

Just a few [emoji6] it ran REALLY good at one point lol

 

[FastestIdIinthe707]

it did. i could only get that turbo on my truck to build 5-6 pounds of boost and once Ian got it rebuild hes building 11 pounds of boost

Oh so your the guy who is responsible for all that turbo carnage huh . JK. Russ aka typ4 rebuilt that 088 for me that you used to have but it was completely trashed. It needed a hot side/cold side turbine along with a new shaft. Looked like a glowplug tip or some other foreign piece of metal went thru the hot side turbine and mangled it up beyond repair. The cold side turbine showed poor air filtration damage as well. It was in rough condition but he was able to rebuild the entire turbo for me and it works great now. Thanks again Russ.
PLEASE make sure you guys are running a good air filtration system! It will save your expensive turbo and engine

Yeah, I wasn't very knowlageable on diesels at that point, and just ran it, started it on ether ect w/o knowing better. Finally the GP's gave up then the injectors ALL started leaking at once so I sold it to Jason. oops... And that motor had a ghetto custom K&N wet setup on it...again, didn't know better

I'm still dialing in the truck, its only got 39k factory so I have time to swap them in.

 

[FastestIdIinthe707]

yea i pulled the glow plugs and one of the tips was gone and went through the motor so i looked for a different one to drop in my truck.

K&N filters are known for poor filtration characteristics. I had one on a 98 GMC pickup and couldn't believe all the dirt/oil buildup on the throttle body butterfly. I am currently running a dry flow AEM filter and am pleased with how well it filters out dust particles. I had a cheap spectre filter (K&N also makes spectre) on my rig when I made my custom air intake system for the 088. Brian aka Idioit called me shortly after to find out that his spectre filter was letting in massive amounts of dirt into his intake manifold. I immediately changed filters and am glad that I did. Thx again Brian. You saved me another costly turbo rebuild by informing us about the problems with those filters.

That's good to know because I just bought a K and N filter because I needed one right a way. But I will look into a better one that will fit with my custome and take

 

[FastestIdIinthe707]

Wow that's low for an idi. Mine has 250k and I just dropped it in
