Fixing a bad Exhaust Leak on the Turbo 8.1 UglyTruck

In order for a turbo to function properly, all the exhaust energy needs to enter the turbine housing to spin the turbocharger, and if you have an exhaust leak, that means you are not pushing the turbo as hard as you could be. I've had a bad exhaust leak on the UglyTruck for some time now, and it's especially noticeable when the boost is above 10 psi since the engine is working so much harder. The reason I hadn't addressed the leak (yet) is because i was worried that the rusty hardware on the cylinder head would snap off and cause a ton of extra work... But it was time to pull the bandaid off, and see what kind of mess we're getting into while we wait for the 4l80e rebuild parts. #turbobigblock #silverado #racetruck Link for the TruCool 40k trans cooler I bought https://amzn.to/3Amcvfs Visit https://www.tolmanperformance.com/col... and grab a shirt or hat today!
