Boost/pyro gauges ordered, should be here mid week
Picking up turbo tomorrow
Hopefully picking up fuel plate tomorrow
Need to get plumbing bits to reconnect AFC
Main vacuum line is sorta collapsed, need a section of that
Spool of 3/16" brake line and 3/8" fittings

My big block doesn't owe me anything, but this thing is an absolute pleasure to work on compared to that. Love it!

Make sure your AFC isn't gutted. if it's not connected to boost and your truck isn't a complete retarded lump of a slob, you probably have no fuel control other than your right foot.

AFC covers the fuel plate, correct? Shares two bolts with the shut off solenoid? If so, we checked that and everything appeared to be there.

the armeture off the bottom of it that sticks down past the fuel plate is present? it may be gutted on top and pushed full forward...

if it's present + functional and not seeing boost, you'd get about 20% of fuel at most.

I do not remember seeing an arm that would have been sticking down past where the fuel plate goes. Add that to the list of stock parts I need to hunt down.

Balls, finding these little pump parts is not fun

In the meantime, gauges will tell me if I'm on the way to turning my pistons into aluminum puddles, no? Keep an eye on boost, pyro and what's coming out of the tailpipe and I'll be OK?

I'm sure Mike is sick of messing with these things, and I probably will be one day myself. But I am fascinated by how simple it all is!  8)

It hurts my brain to try to think of all the shit going on under the hood of my Suburban hahahaha

yup

keep EGTs in check and you'll be fine. It may not be worth the time and effort to put that back to stock. Check Competition Diesel for someone who may be selling a complete AFC?

New turbo is in place minus exhaust. Broke v-band clamp, $30 from Napa.  :'(

Gauges came too. Gonna get those on tonight and hopefully take it for a spin and see how close I've been coming to puddling my pistons.

If you haven't been blacking out every intersection all the time you're probably fine.  Clear exhaust is almost universally safe.
