Took z to my mechanic yesterday and he found that my intercooler had split, managed to fix it so not blowing now, but was talking to another guy lastnite about it and he said that if intercooler blowing or split will blow the turbo..?just wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter thanks guys

no dont believe a stranger like me :D its simple to work out the fact if the boost has a leak then it cant boost therefor the turbos are only on (idle) really, but get it sorted as soon as mate as its gunna drive like a dog.

goodluck ;)

No, i meant the guy i was talking to lastnite..knew i would get the real answer from this site ;)

i know bud i was being sarcastic ;) yea will run bad on idle as it just sees it as a vacume leak as opposed to a boost leak hth

it will knacker the turbo, win spin much faster to try and make the desired boost.

Oh now i am confused :confused:

Ding.

Even the smallest turbo leak will nail engine performance to a dribble so you can just about drive the car home. Well did for me after i crashed it. Slight dink in intercooler and the whole engine went to like 60hp lol. I disconnected the lead from the MAF so it was still bloody awful but barely drivable

Lisa get a new or second hand intercooler ASAP as if left it will damage the turbo !
