May as well honestly. But if it turns out to be a blown turbo or something worse I’d rather put the money there for now. I’m looking to be in a halfway decent daily by the middle of the summer so I can really do some good to this car. ---

I doubt theres anything wrong with the turbo. Just replace the other shit, it’s a nightmare otherwise. You could always have KrazyKid weld the hard pipes so you have minimal couplers to worry about.
