The thing actually has so many leaks that we're discovering every time we drive it a short distance that we're starting to think a significant amount of that volume could actually have possibly blown out instead of burned out. There was so much smoke it's obviously burning SOME -- but we're now tracing a leak or two including the turbo drain return tube that we think are at least confounding our tests, all other problems aside. I'll update the thread after I get another weekend at home to play with it, and confirm or disprove a few more things. Thanks again.
