Re:boosted!
I did not use the missing link, and I have a/f guage, and the turbo timer has o2 voltage monitor, but the highest boost level I see is 5 psi, can I raise the boost level by just adding a manual boost controller on an internal wastegate? I still smoke bad, have you ever seen the smoker tank that the army use to hide? imagine that on the streets.

Re:boosted! pics
ok..
the worst case scenario you have blown seals. But try the cheap things first like a needle valve and make sure u used teflon tape on the return flange.
Is the smoke coming out of the tail pipe or off the turbo too. any oil dripping? did u use any sort of gasket on the oil return flange? u said it might have stripped threads, ,did u use teflon tape?

Re:boosted! pics
I fixed the flange leak, but the line I am using was not design for hot oil its for toilets, steel braided but delicate, and ends I have to put o rings in, still leaks, I plan to change it but Germany sucks when its time to find parts, I cant even find a needle falve or any type of fitting, in the hardware stores.I put a air compressor fitting on that has a filter in it,and reduce the smoke but it smoke at idle but its better than before. but can I raise the boost level on that stock wastegate with a mbc?, I either getting inaccurate reading at the boost guage, something but I hear the bov at 1 psi.

Re:boosted! pics
Yes, you can use a MBC to lower/raise the boost, but your turbo should have anjustable wastegate arm on it. Your notice the wastegate arm is threaded, pull the wastegate arm off the turbine housing, and then you should be able to twist the part of the wastegate arm that IS NOT threaded. It will make the arm either longer or shorter. Longer = less boost
Shorter = more boost
If the wastegate arm isn't threaded, then you'll have to get a MBC.

Re:boosted! pics
the oil feed line hole, is 3/8 I think, its a t3 turbo the line is a kit I bought, made by earls, the ruturn is 3/4 homemade need replaced... the wastegate is adjusted all the way, I figured its at 7psi, but my intercooler is ghetto, I probably lose 2psi so I read 5psi, I want to know if the mbc will raise it.
