I hope your ok Mr cat?I'm not into 322's yet, and maybe never. Had a seizure Saturday and a ride to hospital under blues and two's.cannot drive for 6 months or maybe never depending on tests Thursday.
He's right, the V8 is much more reliable in a fashion. It will reliably let go of head gaskets, liners ...
@wammers is the best man on these. Brian has suggested checking the hoses to the turbo which sounds like a sensible starting point. Do you access to a Nanocom or other diagnostics?
I hope your ok Mr cat?
He will be, just may restrict him to three eighteen year olds a week instead of the usual six. He has a day off on Sunday.

I fill the tank every Friday. The turbo was changed coz it was screaming, an wen I took it off the whole thing was seized.! Ive changed hoses the top 1 coming out the egr valve goin to the intercooler when you reved the car the pipe would suck itself in. An I’ve done nearly everything.. I’m lost now.
Your year of car should not have an EGR valve.

No the egr has been blanked off. This was the only only engine I could get hold of for my car.
Ok i now understand.
Other problem you may have is that the ECU will be expecting a reading from the inlet air temp sensor fitted to the alloy manifold. There is no IAT sensor fitted to the later EGR engine it is a preset in the EGR version ECU. If you are using the pre EGR ECU that may give a problem. But i don't think it will give the problem you now have. It is used in conjunction with fuel temp sensor and engine temp sensor to fine adjust injected fuel quantity.You could i suppose tap the plastic manifold and fit the non EGR IAT sensor you should have the wiring for it.

Did you play with the main injection pump when changing ,If you changed the engine ....

That's scary........get well soon bud.
(No guests bound and gagged in your basement I hope!! Anyone seen Andy?)
Sucking of intercooler to manifold hose is a problem of turbo intake hose being sucked by turbo when floored. Pre 99 pipe is faulty and gets too soft with age and high temperature.

And now you know why , although given with good intentions, some advice may not be helpful and why some people get guru status
All hail the gurus

The turbo inlet hose from plastic crossover intake to turbo changed from ESR2522 to PHD103330 on the introduction of EGR at VIN number WA403804 for MY 1998. Also an internal PCV valve was added and a MAF sensor to enable the ECU to monitor exhaust gas flow. The inlet side before the turbo would have to be seriously restricted for the turbo to suck in the inlet hose. Air cleaner blocked Etc. But the hoses did internally delaminate at times causing restrictions.

Dearest Wammers, as usual you are waaaay above my pay grade, BUT I will read it several times in an attempt to understand
Didn't mean to take you away from the guru's Saturday liquid lunch
