Thanks so much for all the great help. Got the car back running at 12:30 a.m. this morning. It was just as you said. The vacuum shutoff actuator was bent so the travel distance would stick about 1/4 inch from full closed. Bent it back and found it to move from full open to full closed by sucking on it. The shaft moved freely with the vacuum shutoff actuator removed. (I could not find a supplier to purchase an new shutoff actuator locally)

The car burns a lot of oil. 262,000 miles on the car. When I bought the car the turbo vacuum line was unhooked and plugged. The seller did not disclose the amount of oil it burned. It took three rebuild turbos from Pure Turbo to get it to run right. Now has a lot of power. The oil press and volume thru the turbo oil supply is so great that it would blow the turbo seal on two rebuilts. The car burned a gallon of oil every 425 miles when I purchased the car. The compression and leak-down test were good. Found someone had replace the valve stem seals with all exhaust seals. After replacing the valve seals and the turbo the car now burns a gallon of oil ever 1150 miles. In removing the intake manifold last night I see the turbo is still sending oil into the engine. Is there an oil pressure regulator valve that limits volume and pressure to the turbo? Thanks. Dean
