Default Dustins build thread on the 2.5turbo

Come to my senses an realized this car has 0 *****. List of repairs injection pump seeps everywere,cyl 5 injector is leaking fuel,couple engine oil leaks, found some bolts missing...Started off inspecting the turbo its a t25 garret.There was very little shaft play an No horizontal play .Took my mighty vac home to do some testing.Found a good spot on the intake to test for boost pressure. Drove it an the highest it went was 5 psi..great..i think it should be atleast double if not more.Time to inspect wastegate...seems to be rather hidden under the turbo.Hooked up good ole migty vac.. Discovered the WG is control by vac an not pressure.. traced vac lines back to a valve an then Ts off back to.. U guessed it a vacuum pump...an the brake booster appeares to run off of this to..hooked the vac gauge up to the main line.had 0.0 vac even at 3000 rpms.. nothing!!... from what info ive gather the egr an the flapperplate an the turbo WG are all controlled by the vac pump ..im thinking of getting rid of the egr the flapper an running my own charge pipe off the turbo..an maybe switching the vac controlled WG to a ebay pressure controlled style WG..an run the pressure line to spot were i Td in to check for boost..Any thoughts?? Forced throw me a bone here....thanks for veiwing i will post pics of my repairs when i figure out how

Another pic of some more egr soot .Im thinkin of just using a wire brush to clean out the runners in the head an pressure washing the intake...as for the second to pics the copper sealing washers for the injectors were being a pain to get out,I ended up threadin a bolt in the center an workin it b n 4th till they broke free...

Someone had almost stripped this bolt out that was on the intake..but i def got lucky.Stopped by the hardware store an picked me up some hardened bolts w/wammy washers ...and picked up a boost gauge.I prefer the older style sunpro it matches with cluster better..an it was 18 bucks

I will disable the vacuum half when i track a good wastegate..id rather reuse the old internal style an install a pressure actuator like u said..but i really wanna make the egr inop ..i definitely see more harm than good on this emission garbage...
