I walk out side fire up the truck which I just finished putting the VP back on yesterday (ran perfect yesterday) and get 3 blocks and start hearing a whistle and check the gauges NO BOOST. I pull over pop hood check all connections
(every thing is still connected) so I drive back to the house get some lights and recheck and also check turbo. I can't find any thing wrong. I'll have to wait till morning with more light. THIS SUCKS AND NOW I'M NOT WORKING TONIGHT!!!


Hopefully I only did something stupid.

Impeller still turned just made loud noise.

Pulled turbo and impeller was rubbing on housing. Ordered a sp62-14 to replace it and it was supposed to be here today via Grey Hound shipping (1/4th the the price of UPS) They lost the 2 packages turbo and down pipe They're trying to find it. But right now they're just making excuses.

I decided to change the oil while I was waiting and there was only about 5 qts in the pan, Where did it go? I hope out the exhaust. I haven't noticed any blue smoke and I did not see any metal in the oil. I hope every things ok.

I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.
