looks as if one of the balls on the turbine side of boost controller is missing pieces. First time I've ever come across this.

If you didn't get it. A shitty spring type Boost controller runs on a spring and two ball bearings. One of them got eat up by heat and warped the spring too and caused a massive boost leak.

Mine wasn't the cause of heat however, it was a build up of moisture that ended up seizing the ball bearing and making it stuck to the inside of the mbc. Just run a little fuel filter inline right before your manual boost controller. This made me boost to 40psi. At least I was running meth on a built motor, but I stretched the stock headbolts.

Also FYI, you posted this thread in the Projects & Builds sub forum.

What turbo did/do you have that stretched the stock head bolts?
