Looks like the guy that put my manifolds and up pipes on installed the up pipe gaskets in wrong. Dannville said that's probably what it is.
New Turbo and still NO boost. HELP!!!

Well, take it to a competent shop next time, and dont blame ProFab for that shop's f-up.

Well he ^^ is on his rag. Never blamed profab. The blame lies with the guy I paid to install them. Still not sure this is the problem since there is no soot around the pipes. And I can't see the passenger side pipe with my POS mirror.
Rancelot211, I can't tell about the A-arms. They went on with my lift. They do put the ball -joint in a better angle and the greaseable bushing and bolt in ball joint is nice.
I did a boost leak test and no leaks. The truck is running better all the time. I think the guy I bought it from may have babied it too much. I don't know. Rob is going to adjust the tuning once I get some dry weather to do some data logs to get back to him. I took the muffler off today and the turbo sounds awesome. Not too loud at all and no drone in the cab. Also installed an S&B CAI.
I'm switching back and forth. Trying to see what does what and where. It's definitely getting better as I drive it too. It's weird.
Mark has sent the base tunes for these chargers to Rob to build off of. One thing to be sure of is if you have a 3794 stg2 or a stg2r. Log files will definitely help to resolve the issue. Getting it to JoshH to look at would speed the process up to.
Josh if I get time I'll try to make it out to you. You're about 2.5 hours from me. Bonus on top of my orginal problem, the new fuel filter housing started leaking this afternoon and it died. Primed it back up.
I just read through this, my regular cab is similar. Just went from the 72mm Danville to the 68 stg2r. Once it gets past 2200 rpm or so it goes pretty good. Marks working with me great but IMO its something with the truck.
Super laggy down low and smokey, wondering if a towel made its way into the intercooler.
Also ever since installing the 72mm 2 years ago my mileage went to hell. I'd get 390-420 miles per tank and I get about half that now... lots of highway here with my daily.
Tired of chasing it, wish there was a decent shop in MN that could go through it. I've done 8 turbo swaps and my reg cab has been the only one to be a pain in the ass.
