Anyone have instructions or a procedure on replacing the turbo pedestal seals. I believe that is where my oil leak is originating. Is this one of those have to remove the turbo deals?
Yep, turbo must be removed to replace the turbo to pedestal O-rings. Remove the pedestal to replace the pedestal to block O-rings. Make sure you know which ones are leaking so you know how far to go.

Might as well replace both sets while you are in there, it is a pain. I would also replace the EBPV seals, the stock ones are junk, the new version is much better.

Exactly what EBPV seals are you referring to?

While you're there, rebuild the Y pipes and gaskets, as they are probably leaking anyway. I gained 3 lbs of boost when I rebuilt mine.

I'm confused. Are you saying the pedestal O-rings are leaking or the EBPV solenoid in the pedestal is the source of the leak?

I am not absolutely sure right now. I hope to do another cleaning this weekend and find out exactly where it is leaking. I did think however that if I was going to replace the pedestal seals I might as well replace the EBPV seals at the same time leaking or not. All the directions I have been able to find so far show a complete PITA procedure to remove the turbo and replace the seals.
