Rebuild and then a HG 2000 miles later? Sounds like a good rebuild. If it was properly rebuilt then bearing clearances should be fine, could be any of the things gaboon said. But until you get a hard gauge on there I wouldn't do anything rash.

Prolly get a used one I guess, but if the turbo needs a rebuilt...

Nope not normal. Should open at stock boost level, the spring is leakly worn/cracked. If you gotta rebuild anyways, I would go for the upgrade.

X3? Haha Some details on your setup would help.

There is. Those are O-Ring picks haha...Use them everyday.

So does Toyota sell there shims in .001" increments?

Yah I hate how you have to buy parts to set your valves...Guess it's the nature of the beast though. If your cam lobes are in bad shape you will prolly have to change the shims anyways as they'll chewed about as will.

Haha good call...

If you can turn it upside down your well ahead of the game. I would make sure the valves are closed though. Magnet well do the trick.

Is it coming from the pan? If so its the cooler return, and you can just put a plug in the pan.

True storry. Any update FullNelson?

Yup...

It's like a petroloeum based cleaner/degreaser/solvent. I think Varsol is actually a name brand not 100% sure, it's whats in all are parts washers at work.

Varosol

It's normally closed...

I say spring then. I quick dummy test is just unhook and plug the WG actuator singal line. Go for a drive, just let off if it goes high into boost, but it shouldn't if the diaphram(actuator) is fine, and the sping is cracked or worn, and exhaust gas pressure is opening the WG by itself.(Can you...

Then it would be overboosting;) My bet is the spring, or a turbo on the way out maybe? Are you running the stock AFM or a MAP based tune?

If it was leaking the WG wouldn't open...:3d_frown:

Ohhhh thats cool haha, if it's not a cylinder head it don't need to be torqued;) Of course thats an exageration.

I would op to fix the fender, then if you ever plan on going turbo I would go for the 3" exhaust. That looks like a wicked deal dude, I hope the regi isn't a big hassel down there.:icon_bigg And you can't even drive yet...I like your priorities.
