turbo bypass
not sure.The place that incorrectly diagnosed my car the first time says that its the h.gasket but of course I dont trust them now.Another mechanic said theres a hose behind the turbo thats leaking and i need a whole new engine.
I only ask because I recently purchased a 98 T5 and the mechanic I go to said that the turbo was leaking, however it seems more like a weep than a leak.
I'm somewhat curious to the severity of this leak/weep. The turbo works great, no noise when it kicks on...the oil level is still perfect after 900 miles, and it leaves no spots on the ground.
The weep/leak is the 1st sign of failure. From all I have read, it goes from a weep to leak, to smoking, then to failure. I would plan on doing something to it within 5k. Someone else maybe can give us more input on life expectancy.
