found cause for losing manifold pressure

[SkyKing]

Johnny,

You said that Million $ Air discovered the rear pressurization system dumping bleed air... but from exactly where? I presume that both dump valves on the lower pedestal were pushed-in all the way when they discovered this.

Next time you have the rear cowl sides off check all the scat tube connections to be sure the band-clamps at the connection points are all snug and that you don't have any wear-rub holes in the tubing.

Gee, maybe your mechanic should be "charged back" for the turbo, wastegate and controller! I presume you had these overhauled? How much was the whole ticket?
