driving with boost leak
 

hey all

is it bad for the turbo to be cruisin around with a boost leak somewere? will it spin to fast with no back pressure or anything?

thanks

Will get hot and smokey and run like crap. I'd find the leak b4 any long trips are made

but the turbine wont explode

no but it wont have enough power to even spin the tires in gravel....

id defiantly find it asap it wont hurt anything short tem unless in a really dusty area. how bad of leak is it?
