Okay, this was my first TB job on a PD engine. It is an '04 with 121k miles on it... ran fine, no issues! I've known this guy and his wife all of my adult life...
I did everything according to the Bentley Manual and the Sticky(s) here in the club.
I used the proper tools, etc. Set cam and crank with those tools. TB, roller, tensioner, coolant pump, etc., went on fine.
Engine starts, idles, torsion is at -0.5 (same spot before the TB job).
Anyway, on test drive (no WOT), before I shifted to second gear it blew the turbo hose off at the pan cake pipe on the small end. Simple, maybe I just didn't install the clip properly. Reattached the hose then took it for another test drive, blew the hose off at the turbo............
I have checked for obstructions .... nothing!
So, what's going on?
