Thanks guys. I'm hoping its something simple like that. It's got the metal line from compressor to the hot side with the integrated wastegate (kkk k24?). Is there any way to test those in the car? Im thinking either way to fix Ill have to pull the turbo to fix it. Anyhow the little devil on my shoulder was hoping it was busted so I could look for a hx30w until I saw what people want for a 140 manifold these days. Yikes...
Found this car on craigslist. PO swapped in the 5 speed. And it has the 22 head. Lots of other little issues though. Working through everything before I adjust the pump and start hot rodding it. It needs to be driveway trained... likes to mark its territory.
