Cool screen shot.

ok so i actually bought something today.
water/meth injection
bought it used but never installed.
saved a few hundred bucks
also, after talking to many people and hearing other trucks that made the same sound, i am sure the dealer was completely wrong. the turbo bearing is not bad. the up-pipe flex coupling or even the pipe in general has a crack in it. when i turn the truck on and it is cold, the injectors are quite enough to let me hear a hiss from the pipe leaking.
also if i unplug the variable vane geometry solenoid, the sound goes away. the turbo bearing would not do that.. the boost is removed when i un-plug the connector as the vanes open all the way.
what does this mean?
it means i can take my time and order everything i want then go to the shop. i might even take everything to Nor-cal with me and let my favorite diesel shop do the work.. anyway, might get the turbo tomorrow. it is still an upgrade i want to do, just don't feel pressed to do it so soon.

Nice purchase Dave. I really want to get that setup also but it's on the waiting list.
I'd try new up pipe first and the if needed a new y pipe. Can't remember if you have an egr delete yet but if you want I have a spare up pipe I could send you if needed. It's supposed to be getting welded up now but the welder has been super busy and hasn't started yet

No worries jake. Might just get new ones at the dealer. Just need to figure out what I need. Guess I will be tearing into it this week.

Won't let me edit for some reason.
Jake I would hate to have you send one that I don't need.
