It's the o-ring for the compressors houseing (see pic). Now I have suspected this being damaged as few years ago I did a pressure test in I take and could hear air gushing from there, thought maybe it was the turbo bolts loose but found them being tight. Anyway question. What would this cause if anything? Boost lose? Fuel economy ? Nothing? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticed it allot quieter when on boost. There was always a air gushing sound when accelerating now it's gone haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
