Search boost leak for one and check for "turbo shaft play" as well if you are that concerned.

Rule #5 posted above the reply box

Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation when posting in our Tech Forums - don't use texting/instant messaging lingo here. This isn't an English class, but we demand that you at least make an attempt or your posts will be deleted. Internet Explorer users should download IEspell or just use Firefox since it has spell check built-in.

Start spelling properly and using your shift key if you want any replys! Mods won't be as forgiving...

You need to relax. Do a boost leak test. I'm sure your car isn't as big of a piece of shit as you think it is.

Here, I will spoon feed it to you:

Boost leak test:

And for checking for turbo shaft play:
1. Remove the intake pipe from the Turbo
2. Stick you fingers in and grab the shaft
3. Wiggle it and feel how much it moves.
4. It should not move much, but there should be some play due to no oil on the bearings.

If it has excessive shaft play, 1/8" to 1/4" or more, you need to look for damaged fins and possibly remove and replace/rebuild the turbo.

Was that good?
