West Desert social distancing! Emilee wanted to see some of the stuff we did on the Utah 300 trip last year. Found cool new stuff too! Lots of dirt roads to explore!

 

Did you find the civil war gold? 🙂 Supposedly near Delta there is a mine entrance that has been blasted closed.

So many mines out there. We just went to a few. Crazy stuff hiding everywhere out there. I do think we need to do a trip to find the Fenn Treasure Franz!

“Funny you should ask. Greg is the guy who sold us the engine and swap parts boxeer.com @crepeattack He was doing some work on the van today…..and seized the second turbo due to oil starvation.”

Hello! New to this, but I am having turbo issues with the EA288 Boxeer.  Is this the particular motor you have or do you have the previous Subaru TDI  he sold?

Second gen Subaru diesel with variable vane turbo/plastic intake manifold.

The problem was due to a guy at the hose shop soldering the banjo fitting poorly.

The turbo oil supply hardline developed a crack from vibration. Cole had a guy in Las Vegas build him a new flex line on a road trip…and he soldered the fitting completely closed accidentally. 🤦‍♂️

Hard to find replacement parts for that Subaru ee20 engine.

Swapped to TDI VW engine.
