My car started dieing when stoping and idleing rough after I would run it hard, it would run fine as long as I drove it normal,
Anyway after it started dieing I did a intake pressure leak test to see if a boost leak was causing the dieing and I found a leak on the backside of my turbo, on the actual turbo itself, not the housing or where it connects to the housing, the air is coming out from under the lip on the backside, it leaks air from the top right next to the oil intake fitting,
I have never seen or heard of this, does this mean my turbo is shot? It has no shaft play and spins freely. Does anyone sell a gasket for this? And most important could this be causing my dieing after hard driving?????
