I've been working on the car the last couple of nights. It's like an intricate puzzle trying to figure out how to get access to one bolt or another. Exhaust is off, coolant tubes going into the turbo are off, the turbo bracket is off, and finally, got the turbo off.
I pulled it off to discover that only half of the gasket between the header and turbo is there. I completely blew the other half off. That would explain why I'm only getting 8 pounds of boost when I should be getting more than twice that. Also, there's always been little droplets of oil back there and at the time, couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
Anyways, I'm off to the autozone to see if they have a replacement gasket.
