If you haven't figured it out already, I take ALOT of pictures, in fact, my camera will shortly be breaking the 20,000 mark for photos taken.
So today since I'm home sick I decided to go out and check this engine out, after pulling the MAP and the turbo downpipe I can see that this sucker is clean, there is a very slight hint of dirt on the map, and a very slight hint of soot right around in the impeller blades of the turbo housing, but barely any.
If it was ever run it was not run for very long, do you think VM would have done a test setup and run it to verify it was good before shipping it out?
Turbo downpipe:
Manual boost control, boost releases at a preset spring rate, no electric solenoid for control, no VGT turbo. Should make upping the boost and/or installing a larger turbo easyer.
Turbo housing is cleeaaannn:
This is what the end of my finger looked like after running it around inside the dirtiest part right around the blades.
Boost sensor is clean, that grease you see is for sealing it to the intake.
Engine alley in my garage.
