Boost leak test and now major leak from turbo?

[Porkchop-wrx]

It sounds like a have a major leak coming from the turbo area. Is there anything that it could be over there in that area, or is it the actual turbo? I'm almost positive its not from the intercooler pipe. What else could it be besides the turbo itself?

TTT nobody has experienced this to give me a heads up on what it can be and what I can do about it?

the reason you are not getting any responses is because of the vague problem description. If it is leaking from the turbo itself it could be the wastegate actuator, any one of the hoses that hook up to the wastegate, it could be the flapper inside the exhaust housing is coming out and not closing off the hole all the way. It also could be the gasket between the manifold and turbo. I would doubt that but make sure the bolt are torqued to specifications....Have you touched anythng lately?

good luck

The leak is not from the wastegate or the hoses...its from the actual turbo itslef. right where the comprssor housing is, and or the band clamp, where it bolts to to the exhaust housing. It only hold 5 psi and thats it.
