I had the same problem with my rear engine. Turned out to be the turbo seperating from the center section and needed to be replaced. I agree that it could be the wastegate, but the range 4" = 2 psi...

Ahh. Found this one out the hard way. Most shunts are designed for 50ma. The one used in the 66-67 Skymasters are 40ma. From what I understand this is an odd ball shunt. I think EI could...

I'd say the compression looks fine. More importantly is where the leak is coming from. Exhaust leak.... won't be long till you spit a valve. If you have a good seal on the exhaust side, I'd run...

Check valves on turbos

I don't know if they are any good. Just what others have said. The lead acid ones seem fine as long as you get a charge to them at least once every 2 weeks. In the documentation I read that the...
