I noticed i was loosing some oil but was not sure how, I ran the car pretty hard lastnight and parked it in the garage. When i pulled the car out this moring i saw oil on the floor it was coming out the flex section of the down pipe.

So i think there must be a o-ring or seal out in the turbo.. So i have some questions.

1. How much does this hender performance? I am thinking it must the car just seemed to not pull as hard...

2. Will the turbo last long if i take it easy on it? this is my daily driver i hope it can last tell i get another turbo or something

3. Is it worth rebuilding a Ported Small 16g (I think the kit is 90.00$) or should i just try an find a used Small/Big 16g tell i can convert to a holset?

Thanks:confused:
