Turbo Tahoe?

[00'BlueSteel]

Got it all squared away she finally runs. I've got to fix an exhaust leak that I was partially expecting but that's a small agenda at this point. Did some more troubleshooting and realized it wasn't getting fuel pressure to the rails. So I dropped the tank back down and realized the rubber hose on the new pump had popped off on one side I'm guessing from the pressure fixed that re-installed the tank and viola.

Time to bring the noise!!!!! Glad it was something simple and free to fix.

Haven't really driven it. Noticed an oil leak after I fixed the exhaust leak earlier so I need to take care of that now. Also I need to decide whether I want to just run a T off my brake booster or buy a vaccum block for my line from my BOV. I hooked it to my intake manifold on a port and it just keep the BOV wide open from the moment you start it so that's not going to work.

Stock cam? Exhaust stock too? Besides the turbo manifold of course.

Yep stock cam and currently injectors for start up and checking leak purposes. Exhaust is currently not connected it's just the downpipe and about a 3' section of pipe attached to that which puts it a little past the crossmember mid truck.

Anything happen this weekend? We have been feverishly working to finish up our basement finishing. So no work on the hotrods lately. So it's nice to check out what is going on with the turbo tahoe.

Nothing new as of now I'm supposed to start my remote tuning Friday or Saturday hopefully. I've still got a small oil leak that I'll hopefully be taking care of for good tomorrow by using thread sealer instead of teflon tape. By the end of this endeavor I'll know the ins and outs of a Tahoe lol. Takes me maybe 15-20 mins to drop and install a gas tank on the ground with a jack. And tomorrow will be my second time removing my intake manifold to access my oil T, which is in the location of the oil pressure switch which leaves no room for wrenching hence having to take the manifold off. Which took me maybe 35 mins total to remove and install the first time. I'm just ready to be able to drive it around and hopefully that will be Friday or Saturday.

Just too keep you guys updated since y'all have kept me all going thru this process intake manifold and everything is off about to remove this T and try and get it sealed up for good.

Ran into another dilemma while putting it back together. When swapping out injectors noticed that the LSA injectors are quite a bit shorter than my factory ones and with the factory rail setup they aren't going to work so I'm currently trying to decide which route I'm going to go.
