Holy crap, I didn't even notice, I was looking at your wastegate and oily crap!

Yeah, we both looked at it and didn't notice it was that bad at first. I have a working theory on how that got that bad, but I think I don't care lol.

This S5 HAS to perform better than that turbo.

Gimme your honest .02 on it.

Might explain your boosting problem....

Turbine looks A ok. Now I just have to wrestle this S5 manifold on there followed by the turbo.

Soon enough, we shall be finding out either way.
