Ok I’ll do a pull this weekend and datalog ocv duty cycles, boost and AVCS only Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No there were no holes but when the guy replaced the turbo he never put the hose clamp back on. I have a new silicon inlet now and I hose clamped it. I went under it with a camera and checked to make sure it was all strapped down tightly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Changed the oil again. It came out pretty much clear. No metal or dirt that I found but I am sending a sample to Blackstone labs anyway. Just want to make sure everything is as healthy as it possibly could be Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. I’ll do that. Hopefully someone can give some insight on those numbers also. Today I’m going to drain my 300 mile oil anyway. I’m going to get a sample for when my black stone test bottle comes. I am going to now change to rotella t6 5w 40 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

UPDATE Installed ocv Car is back together. Cleared code and went for a drive Left AVCS cruising 40 peaked at 41 WOT right AVCS cruising 40 peaked at 41 WOT left ocv cruising 48 peaked at 65 wot Right ocv cruising 53 peaked at 70 Came back scanned for codes. No code. Last time I reset it popped up on the first drive. So can anyone tell me. Is my problem fixed or am I still in danger of failure? Am I reading the wrong data? AVCS in right and AVCS in left?

Your right. Would have been probably. It intimidated me a little bit truth be told. I guess it shouldn’t though because I removed a lot the way I did it too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe you didn’t know but you are posting the marketplace section Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No way. It’s directly under the turbo inlet and vertical. I just did it. Had to take off the Intercooler, the inlet, and the small coolant tank. Was not fun. Took about 2.5 hours. I covered it in another post. Hopefully this solves my problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update. Sucked it up. Ripped off the Intercooler and the turbo inlet again. Got to the banjo and pulled the filter. For anyone who is going to tackle the banjo on an 08 I suggest just doing the inlet while you are in there. You are going to have to disconnect all the hoses and pull it back anyway. Truth be told the inlet reinstall took longer than the whole banjo process. No metal shavings in the filter. Turbo looks clean. No shaft play. TIP tape your extensions together when doing this and tape the socket on as well. If you lose it down there it isn’t going to be fun to get it out ANOTHER TIP. Take a piece of plastic bag. I used the plastic off the case of water. Shove it in the socket and tape it around the edges. When you get on the bolt. Press down and force the bolt into the plastic bag. Now unscrew it. When you go to pull it out it will be stuck in the socket and you won’t drop it. You really don’t want to lose your banjo bolt into the abyss. Now all that’s left is my ocv. Will be here tomorrow. Gonna pop it in and reset my ecu. Hopefully it doesn’t pop again. If it does I have no idea what’s wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. I changed the oil but that was when I drove it 0 miles. I think it was a coincidence. The turbo had failed from the previous owner. I only have 300 miles about of my own now. The code was probably there previously just hadn’t triggered again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See the thing is. When I got the car like 300 miles ago. I changed the oil. The oil was just changed by him apparently cause it was super clean. I changed it anyway. Maybe I’ll do it again just for peace of mind Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I was actually scanning for lean codes. I did a turbo inlet this weekend because my fuel trims were high. Fixed the problem w that. Sure wish the code had popped earlier because my banjo is right below the inlet. It was nightmare to get in and attach hoses. Now I’m afraid to pull it back out. Anyway. Yeah the rh was running higher than left. Was 57 at cruise 70 at wot. I probably should have swapped them but I have a new one in the way and the car is all taken apart. Prob just throw the new one on and hopefully get the banjo by taking out the Intercooler. If not I have to pull the inlet or the turbo. Whichever is easier. Doing all of this hopefully my code clears. If not. Might have to go to a shop. I only have 10 miles or less since the code popped so hopefully it didn’t damage anything. Ohhhhh and a little backstory The previous owner blew the turbo at 100000. Replaced it and then sold it to me. So I’m thinking the valve or the banjo starved the turbo. Makes sense right?

Duty cycle on my right side was 48%. After about 20 min it went up to 57%. WOT it was at 70. Idle it was 9.4%. Pulled the right side ocv but it looks new. I ordered a new one anyway. Hopefully I just looks new and is really broken. The internals has movement also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn it. It has the nipple. [

I’m not sure if they do. It seems like a pain to get to tho. Just found it. Which stinks cause I had the inlet off yesterday and it was the worst to get the new one in. I am throwing a p0011 code. So I checked the 2 i mentioned. Now I just have to get to the turbo one. But if it has no filter then there is no point. I also ordered a new ocv solenoid. Can’t get the old one out though as it hits the bracket. Not sure if I should keep digging in and remove the inlet again or just assume there is no filter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Banjo 1 under Intake Banjo 2 next to oil fill Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I see conflicted answers on how many banjo bolts there are and where they are. I have an 08 LGT. So far I found one under the intake. I also found one next to my oil fill. Neither had a filter in them and it wasn’t still in the hole. Is there a third one at the turbo or is this it? I removed that bracket and looked for one. I found a bolt with an orange line it on the back of the motor. I can’t even get on it so I gave up. Not even sure if that’s what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found the second banjo. It’s under the air pump. No filter in that one either. I’m stumped. I changed the oil 250 miles ago so idk what changing it again is going to help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I pulled the banjo bolt under the intake and it had no filter. I have searched many threads with conflicted answers. Where is the second? Is it by the turbo? I saw tutorials that it is below a bracket in the turbo but others are saying it’s on the drivers side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so let me give you some background. I found a boost leak at my turbo inlet. After doing the tests. I forgot to put my oil fill cap on. Drove about 15 miles came home. I put the cap on and no oil had spilled out. Checked the oil and is fine So today I went to put on my turbo inlet. Was the worst install of my life FYI. Don’t do it unless you have to. So anyway. I had to take the Intercooler off. When I was done I put it back on with the same gasket. So I went for a drive and my boost was way better. 14.95 psi stage 1. Target is 14.5. So I don’t feel as tho that is too high. It’s a little elevated but doesn’t seem too bad. My fuel trims though seem higher than before. I will post a pic at the bottom. When I returned from the test drive. I decided to scan for codes. I got a P0011. A code I have never gotten before this install. So can anyone tell me what nah have caused this and what I should do to fix it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my car is always like a lb or 2 low on boost and i think my fuel trims are too high. Can anyone look at my datalog and see what they think. I honestly have no idea whats good or bad.6-15-19.csv

Took these numbers this morning This one was 45mph 2500 rpm. This was at idle I also have a 3rd gear pull datalog which I will post when I get home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well looks like I did have one leak that I saw. Coming from the turbo inlet. Also noticed that the previous owner has removed the hose clamp for whatever reason. Just going to put a new inlet on In case it’s cracked. All the smoke seemed to be coming out of the bottom of the inlet. Tough to see it coming out but it makes sense if the smoke was in that area. Tried to pressure test again also and couldn’t build pressure. Going to install the inlet and retest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I made a smoker out of a paint can but it doesn’t flow right. I think I’m gonna get a cheap Halloween fog machine and try that. Should work well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmm weird that I can’t build pressure. I have a similar gauge that I can also easily control pressure. About how long of having air on does it take for you to build the pressure? I would think it would build relatively quick. I got nervous when I hear all the air going into the motor and turn it off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
