This morning, I woke up feeling great and decided to pull the old 14b and drop in the e316g and found a few issues. One was a bit unusual, it was the exhaust manifold to turbo gasket.
So once I took off the shields and pulled the turbo, I found out that the whole dumped wastegate wasn't an aftermarket one. Check this out, plus the unscrewed bolt is exactly how it was when I pulled the shield off.
The way the 02 was used basically could explain all the soot on the alts an probably explains the reason why I have gone through 3 units. How often do you see such an 02 like this one? Well, at least I'm fixing the issues.
