well to be honest im not sure what was the problom

I took off my intake and checked the turbo, I unplugged both of the wire and plugged them back in, i started the truck and gave it a whack with a rubber malet

i then setup a pid file with everything to do with vane and boost and took it for a drive.....Sweet boost is there?

however, I still dont why this happened??

Wrap it in newspapers, throw it in a Rubbermaid box, and send it on a trans-north american journey from the north to the southwest and then to the east coast, then put it on as a set of twins!

Seriously, a vvt I would just remove the exhaust side and clean the soot out of it, put it back together, run a little fresh atf through it and then seal it up with plugs and put inside a plastic bag.

The missus might get pissed if you set it on top of her bread and pies in the freezer so be sure to bury it in the bottom first
