Issues with AVO kit

My kit was running great for two days then all the sudden it was at zero boost. Felt like it was back at stock. It wasn't a boost leak.



Found the problem to be the cotter pin that holds the acuator lever on was too small. It probably fell off or broke off.



Drilled the hole with a bigger drill bit.





Installed a bigger cotter pin. Hopefully it should hold up better now.



Second issue was it was leaking oil behind the oil pump where the camshaft is. RTV sealant was used as directed in the instructions but it didn't hold up well.




Pump removed with old sealant.


All the pieces cleaned up and old sealant removed.


New sealant to be used. This is what toyota uses from the factory. It sets in about 15 minutes so you don't have to wait 24hrs before it can be driven.


The block side was cleaned off and new sealant applied.


Final assembly.


Done for now.


Got these Forester turbo gaskets that will be installed soon. There's a minor leak but not that noticeable now.




Hope this helps in case you guys run into issues. The car feels good now.. dyno tune next week!
