I'll post it up for you 99taws6, but I think I found my issue early this morning. I went out and pulled my exhaust dump tube to check the turbine wheel, and sure nuff the turbo was locked up tight. Now what do I do? I'm not sure how it even happened, there was plenty of oil, too much oil if anything. Do these things carry any warranty?

i agree, if infact you are getting the fuel you need WOT.
Try lowering your gap a little, might be a easy fix.
