Truck is a 2004 5.9, 50% over, Airdog 4G, 2nd gen manifold ported, Edge Juice w/ Attitude (unlocked 6th tune) and the turbo is a 66/71/13ss with the turbine housing port matched to the manifold. It doesn't start to light until 2000rpm and is slow to build to ~42psi before I run out of rpm's. I don't have any boost leaks nor exhaust leaks that I can tell. I'm using steel gaskets with exhaust manifold studs, new T3 gasket with new G8 hardware (it's what I had otherwise it would be G5) but I am pushing oil from between the intermediate housing and the turbine housing. I'm running an AN #10 drainline but there's a few bents in it to get around things and I have a feeling that's being too restrictive and not letting the oil drain fast enough. Regardless, there isn't any soot anywhere however I haven't done a load test with someone brave enough to be under the hood checking...
Am I missing something? Turbo is relatively tight however there was a large crack between the volutes inside the turbo, not where it mounts. I've had Holsets like this but there wasn't any noticeable issues with lag with those. I'm going to put a 3/4" pipe drain with hose to the block to confirm the oil leak goes away and if it does then I'm out of ideas and will probably be on the lookout for a 62 or 63...
Is an SX366 really this laggy on a CR with light fueling mods?
