Hey guys I'm finally reaching out for help as I'm at a loss on my issue. So last week I installed a 2JR intake and also a DEPO catless DP. In the process of the install it required removing the heat shield. I made the mistake of not counting my bolts and accidentally removed the oil feed line bolt in the process. So after the install everything was great. I actually drove a few miles and didn't have any issues at all. Car sounded and felt better than ever. However, while giving the family a little test ride in the car the oil feed line popped off and white smoke went everywhere along with oil At the first sight of smoke I powered the car off. I thought I blew my car up, but after searching around the back of the block I found my stupid mistake and saw the oil line was off. See the thread below... It's exactly what happened to me and apparently I'm not the only one who's done it. I was lucky enough not to burn my car down.

So I spent the next day degreasing the entire car and after a few hours I was able to clean it up pretty well. I then ended up finding the bolt for the line, plugged that in, completed an oil change and was ready for my first startup. After starting the car it seemed fine, no check engine lights, no weird noises, etc. I thought I was done. I then went for a little drive and noticed that I had no boost pressure and that I could not get out of neg vacuum. The car simply wont go into boost at all. So I pulled off the front bumper, checked all of my hoses, clamps, etc. No issues there. I'm running COBB charge pipes and a COBB FMIC if that matters. I've checked the pipes, clamps, and lines over 10 times by now to no avail.
What I've tried:
- clamps, lines, boost leak check, etc.
- ECU reset (like 10 times now)
- Change map (I've got an accessport with the COBB OTS tunes)
- Cleaned sensors near turbo/ manifold
- Removed Catch can and placed stock hose back on (was checking for a vacuum leak)
- Removed wastegate solenoid and cleaned with brake cleaner. In process checking all of the small lines leading to wastegate, turbo, etc. Wastegate should be getting pressure due to my findings.
- Monitored wastegate duty on accessport- My Wastegate duty is not moving at all and my Wastegate actuator does not move at when I give it the juice.
What should I try next?
Clean the Diverter valve (BOV)?
install my iwg75 wastegate I've had sitting around?
pull turbo?
take it to Ford? (probably wont warranty me with my mods).
I'm open to suggestions. I'n clearly no mechanic, bit I love to learn and do things myself. I just need some guidance or suggestions from you experts.
