power steering line was a quick tighten on one connection and seems good. it was a leaker on first drive after the above repair.
Replaced a bunch of vacuum lines last night. many were hard and/or split at the connection nipples. was in and out of limp mode during testing, thought there was a chance it was good before I called it a night but it was just straight up in limp mode on the way to work today.
I'd put a vac gauge T'd into the line to the turbo actuator (which I confirmed continues to move) and it seems to get and lose vac as boost demand changes, but it usually still isn't making full boost. I haven't logged with the computer but I think it's getting exactly the boost that's called for now. Something else must be wrong or I missed a connection somewhere.
I'm also getting a bunch of oil into the intake while idling, huge blue puff leaving any stop light. gross. This was supposed to be a low mile and name brand turbo so that'll be frustrating if its seal is the reason. It shouldn't have 100,000 on it yet. Should be closer to 60-70 if memory serves.
