IIRC, it was a 14mm 12 pt semi-deep socket on mine.

Those turbos are form a 4.5 diesel LCF. Those little things boost great. You have 10psi by 1200rpms on that motor. The funny thing is in the 3rd picture down you see the oil feed line and a blue sticker. That sticker says: don not use this as an engine lift

Ive always used a 14mm bolt and some vise grips. then I found my dad had a 14mm allen wrench after I didn't need it.

I know its the valve seals causing the smoke which sucks because my head was supposedly rebuilt 4k miles ago. I dont think the valve seals are causing it to hard start. My nova has had bad seals for a while now and it will always fire right up.

Yes the smoke was a white-bluish but it smelled like it was running rich. I drove it yesterday and it smoked a little but not as much when I didn't drive it for a week. During the day it was hot and it started fine with no smoke, but when I started it up after it got cold in the night it...

If you take your time and use a blow dryer on high or a heat gun on low it will peel right off.

I really haven't had a chance to look at it yet but I will try to check it later today.

I have a walbro on the way I have only seen boost once or twice. I am aware of what will happen if I push it on the stock pump. Im just trying to get it running right.

check your tps and afm. Mine would do the same thing under cruise. Turned out my TB shaft was loose and the TPS was getting a fluctuated signal.

I jumped the FP and B+ and it still didnt start right up. It would sputter then die. I opened the TB slightly and it started up like it used to. Im going to check the ISC to make sure its still working correctly.

I didnt even tell you how much boost I was running so how can you come to this conclusion. Im only on 8psi right now and Im not worried. If I was boosting 16psi then I would be worried. Ill jump the fp and B+ this morning to cold start it and see what happens.

I recently did a head gasket and turbo on my car. Ever since I got ti started it takes a while to start. Before it would fire right up and idle smooth. Now, it takes a couple times and it will idle real rough then smooth out when I give it a little gas. I replaced the head gasket, installed a 57...

I thought the na mkIV used a w58 like the na mkIII. If thats true the w58 and the r154 use the same shifter. Some one will have to chime in that knows for sure but I thought it would work.

I wouldn't use it. They probably gave you the wrong one on accident. You need the copper or silver anti-sieze.

I bought one of these off of suprarich a few weeks ago and it fit perfect. I used to have the BIC DDP but I cant compare it because that was with a stock ct and now I have a 57 trim. It sure does pull harder on 8psi with the 57 then it did at 13 with the stock ct though.

I think he's talking about the ebay gt45.

Main girdles solve a lot of problems. I helped build a 350 that turned 8700 all season. Now Im building a 496 that will turn 7300.

Im afraid not. The vgt sensor is in the center section not the exhaust housing. I think it would be great if he got it to work. He would have zero lag and no top end restriction.

That twin setup looks like its off of a 4.5 powerstroke. Also, it will take some work to get that turbo to work with the variable vein. the vgt sensor gets a signal from the ecm depending on load and throttle position. Its a voltage signal but I didn't find out if its 0- batt. voltage or battery...

The egt thing shouldn't hold you back but did the turbo come off of a 6.0 or a 7.3 powerstroke. I work at a ford dealer and drive diesels all the time. Most of them have agt gauges and a lot of banks parts on them and a couple have pegged out a 1600* egt gauge. I havnt seen a cracked exhaust...
