Does the WTS light come on as soon as you turn the key on?

W-T ground mod needs to be done. You’ll want to add a 150 amp breaker or fuse between the alternator charge wire and the passenger side battery. I recommend the breaker

Welcome!

That sucks! Haven’t you sent the quad out before for repair?

Take care @JAG1! I’m a couple hours from the nearest fire. Smoke covered sky’s the last week or so.

I’d figure out the problem before I threw money at it.

You can make a boost leak detector. Pressurize the compressor housing with an air compressor set at 20 psi. Get a spray bottle filled with soapy water and start spraying around the turbo. Might as well check the entire system.

It’s just a guess from what you’re describing. No soot tells me it’s not on the exhaust side of the turbo. The only other side is the compressor housing.

Could be the compressor housing seal.

Try this one.

Is the vent on the fuel tank plugged?

Loosened up the fuel lines to the last thread or two. Threaded a valve cover bolts into the top of the injector. Then I used a pickle fork to pop them out. The crossover tubes shift back towards the fuel line when you pull the injector out. Then I would always put a little bit of grease on the side of the injector where the crossover tube would connect to it. Then tighten down the injector and fuel line. Did it about three times that way. And one time on my brother-in-law’s truck. That cross over tube might’ve been bad from the factory. Who knows.

I changed mine out trying to hunt down a miss. The end of one that mated up to the injector had a burr on it. Did a couple injector changes on them. After replacing them all truck ran better. I never pulled mine to do the injector changes. Until I replaced them. I would at least pull them and inspect them. And replace the o-rings.

How many miles are on your existing cross over tubes? If original I’d replace those as well.

When you turn the key on does the WTS light come on immediately? Every time? W-T ground mod done?

Yes I received the payment. Thank you! Yes anything will be better than an HY. I ran 7x.09 Dap injectors with an HX35. Ran real good! I bought the injectors used otherwise I would have gone straight to the 7x.10’s I have now. I gave the HX to my brother in law. He has an ‘02 as well. Yes the Quadzilla makes these trucks much more user friendly. Especially when you upgrade turbos and injectors. Mine is completely smoke free! No wiretap being I just replaced the VP44 recently. Still runs great. It maxes out boost around 32-35 psi. If I were you I’d get a stock wastegate diaphragm and run a boost elbow and or a turnbuckle with a heavy duty spring. Much cheaper than a adjustable wastegate.

Don’t thank me till you see it! ? but you are welcome. The exhaust housing should be fine. I believe it’s the compressor housing is what has the grove from the compressor wheel. Once you get it torn down you’ll see what all needs to be done. If you went the hybrid option if the exhaust housing is good. Is all you would need is the HX 40 compressor housing , compressor wheel and turbine wheel. You’ll want to get a balanced rotating assembly. That would get you the 60/60/12. Turbo lab should be able to send you one. The Holset rebuild kit you posted will work for either the HX35 and the hybrid build.

I’m not a tuning guru like Mike and Nick are but here is what I would try. Low psi timing reduction 5.0 low psi scale 50% your 1500 timing try dropping to 15* possibly 14* and like Nick said raise your 2500 rpm timing to 24*. Just my .02.

Don’t quote me but I believe 2000-2002 are year specific. If you still have the original pcm and ecm you need to replace them with the same part number. You should get ahold of@Auto Computer Specialist

I’m not sure. I’ll probably get some dynamate or something similar to put down first. Quiet down the cab a bit. It’s not to bad until I’m towing with overdrive off.

I thought about pulling my carpet out and pressure washing it but it has a hole next to the throttle pedal. Probably just buy a new one. Once it cools off over here.

You have a Quadzilla and you’re running it on level 1? Stock?

No problem. Here are some pics. It’s pretty rough. The compressor bearing is toast. Looks like the wheel cut a groove in the housing. The turbine wheel seems fine. A little play. If you still want it. I’ll be more the happy to ship it to you. I was going to use it for my hybrid build but it was to rough for me personally. It looked better on eBay. ?

I’ve got a used Hx35 I’ll give you. Needs a lot of TLC. Soaked in tranny fluid for awhile to get everything apart. The wastegate diaphragm is toast. I can send you pics if you’re interested.
