Message: [QUOTE="TexasA&M, post: 532186, member: 7269"] Howdy everyone - A couple of months ago, I replaced my stock turbo with a MTW Stage I. The two main selling points for me were faster spooling, and lower EGTs. The performance of this turbo is hands down better than the stock unit. The trouble I am having, however, has to do with higher EGTs and a lower max boost than I was seeing before. The EGTs aren't unbearable at all, but they run ~100° hotter than with the stock unit. I am also only able to see a max of 24psi, as opposed to the 28psi I was seeing before. The only thing I change was the turbo, and the CAC boots (Riff Raff). I am running the same tunes as I was before (most other people running this turbo have not changed tunes and are not seeing the adverse effects that I am). Everyone I have asked says that it is probably an exhaust or boost leak. I have looked all over for leaks... I can't find any soot on the exhaust side (nor feel any leaks with the motor running), nor do I hear any strange noises while driving. All of my boots are new and tight. I have removed and cleaned out the EBP sensor, and my VGT actuator appears to be working right based on the readings from my insight. What do you guys think? What else should I check? How else can I check for leaks? I don't want to just throw parts at this thing hoping that each will fix it... [/QUOTE]
