Thumbs up

Fixed! Thanks all for the help/advice, especially Brian for telling me to "not ignore this issue".

I might be crazy, but I feel like my transmission is shifting a little better now that I fixed the broken wastegate hose.

Seeing how the hose is broken now makes me realize why I was getting oil residue around the area of the turbo/egr, the boost pressure was shooting it up there, probably as a fine mist. Now I know what to look for next time

short hose (slightly bigger than a vacuum line) that makes sure that high pressures are dumped before they make it to the engine.

you can't see it in this pic, but this is the best one I could find on the forum after a quick look around...

here's another photo with the wastegate removed (I think this is the wastegate anyway). this is from a 617 though...

Is that the hose between the sealed manifold and sealed crossover pipe? I disabled the egr system just like in the picture - JUST FOR OFF ROAD purposes only!
