Turbo Leak From Core To Exhasut Housing Leak

[jabran200]

Just interested in peoples opinions on how much effect this would have on turbo response and power.

I took some turbos off to replace with upgraded items and always had an issue with power dropping and boost not being held above 1.1 abr after 5000 rpm.

I found the bolts that hold the exhaust housing s to the core were lose about 5-6 threads about 4 on each turbo, you can see exhaust gases have leaked past them too.

I know this would have affected any lambda sensors etc due to the leak.

Do you think that leak could affect the turbo that much?

id say so it would effect its performance for sure not sre it would do any damage
