I read in another thread that it could be too high of a crank case pressure shutting off the rack via the vacuum shut off. This could be the problem. Has anyone ever taken apart the oil separator in the air filter housing? It seems I may be having a restriction there. Or the air filter is also pretty bad. No air through the filter the turbo can and will intake air from anywhere it can including from the brank case breather.

As for the fuel issue I've checked the fuel tank sock lines and both filters have been changed. The stumbling goes in and out and sometimes feels like a temporary full boost from the turbo, to excessive egr on a gasoline motor.
