Hey I appreciate all your input/help on this. Today we went at it again. Took the compressor housing off the big boy and NADA! Dry as a bone. Very odd situation here. I'm starting to think Utah is getting second hand high from Colorado lol jk. The oil drain on the small charger was not leaking as they thought it might have been. We got the passenger side valve covers re sealed/siliconed though. Can't wait for my new HTT hybrid to get here so I can get my baby going in time for the AZ races. Sure wish I had the twin pumps to reveal the potential of these spinners.

You were right though, this BD pedestal is a shit-show for flow. Talk about leaving something to be desired.

I'm glad I was able to help some what. :thumb:

Now you know what I'm talking about. When I installed mine I kept flipping and rotating the pedestal to turbo gasket to see what way I needed to set it without success. Not to mention how bad the up pipe ports are; the casting is very rough as well.

Scott's a great guy, except when he's spending your money!!!! :thumb::hug:

Damian i agree i think them Utah boys are smokin the pipe. Get it all rebuilt and freshened up and tell them you want all new parts. The oil is from the 64 for sure.

There is really no doubt left in my mind at this point. Can't wait to see it all put back together with a bunch of polished parts showing and less purple lmao

I don't know. I've only seen the BD pedestal up close. I would imagine that all casted pedestals would be that rough; obviously one of Ricks would not being they're hand made and bad ass :thumb:

What are you getting your upgraded turbo back????:D

Last Thursday they said it was prob gonna ship out today. Judging by the fact they did not call for my CC info, the polisher must have it held up. It's gotta come this week though, I need my truck back! Ill ask Dustin (Chevyburnout1) if his HTT pedestal is as far off the gasket as mine.
