One step at a time I try to gain a little on @aero3113 only to find I'm 13 more steps behind
I also learned that when using McGuire's 3 step wax you can clean your boat with a little bleach and water. With poly glow this is a big no no. It peels the wax. Also areas where hands with sunscreen touch often will also take off polyglow
Noticed a coolant leak (slight mist under wot apparently) by the wastegate base. The only evidence was the red corroded specks you see around that newly painted base and new wastegate.
I have never made more than 13 lbs of boost, max rated is 18 .
When I removed the housing to replace the gasket, similar to a riser gasket, I found the valve wouldn't push in. I couldn't tell if the valve was seating fully or not. I forced it open a bit as to relieve exhaust gas just in case the issue just happend. It allowed us to continue boating for a week while awaiting the new part but sadly I had to idle speed everywhere. Better than over boost which = high egt which = boom
I need this motor to last!!! I've yet to find a tuner locally who will get on the boat with me and "water tune" an LBZ Duramax 6.6 with the turbos ditched and a whipple super charger in it's place.
Now it's time to launch and see if I can get this new wastegate dialed into @14-16 psi wot. Would be sweet if I could get a little more power out of her and more speed but being that my engine never put out black smoke at cruising or the occasional wot run I'd venture to say my corrected waste gate will only assist with getting on plane a little quicker.
I did notice an issue that many will see with these go fast diesels. They are required high rpm for a good 20% or more of run time or carbon builds up. This is likely the cause of my sticking wastegate as well as the ton of carbon I cleaned out of the dump tube and lower housing. I've gotta make time for some runs at the end of every weekend rather than put put around.
