I suppose I should start a new thread on this..
Matt and Trollhole have done admirable jobs on pursuing perfection in 2F rebuilds..
Me, I am a hack.. and bolt on power is the name of the game for me.
About 4 years ago I got a turbo setup for a 2F from Au. I was so excited that I bolted the bad boy on and went to town.. Had reasonable luck with it, but there was almost no throttle response till the turbo spooled up. Not horrible to deal with (I was assuming that the 4.11's and 40" tires had something to do with it) but certainly not what I had hoped for. Over the years it got worse and worse until the turbo started leaking and it just would not run right....
So, time for a rebuild...
I had no idea how many exhaust leaks there were on this setup. it leaked EVERYWHERE!!!! I do not think there was one solid seal on the entire thing.. Seriously.. It was horrid..
So, I dissassembeled it to make it better.
Best tool for that work was a plasma cutter. So sad..
I could actually see light through the stock wastegate. It was bad. So, new 38 MM wastegate off Ebay.. And, I also have an infinitely variable boost controller (in cab) for it as well. fun stuff
