It's turning 2000 rpm at 65mph . That's converter locked. Acceleration is slow . I can watch the boost gauge increase and decrease as I get into it, with no appreciable speed increase. It's probably over geared and doesn't have the torque to accelerate. I'll do flat out runs once I do the timing belt. I'll probably do an in truck rering bearings etc as I'm at it.Ive wired the glow plugs to the start circuit as well as its slow to start, even with a new geared starter and battery. I've got a lot of blowby, at idle thru the pcv puck, with oil in the hose to turbo inlet.
