Default In spite of all the laughing.. I have some more questions about my turbos

The car was not producing boost, I appologise to everyone on this board for not using the correct procedure to diagnose the problem, however, it seemed practical to me, and convinent.

Now I know what a boost leak means, blown turbos.

However, I belive that the turbos were blown before I even took off the intercooler hose to check the air, the car was not boosting anything, no fault codes, no pressure leaks, after I took of the hoses, the turbos sent some air out, but not much, and after I put them back on, and drove, still no boost, however withing 4 hours, the dentist drill sound came from the drivers side. I DIDNT TAKE THE HOSE OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE!

Can the drilling noise be anything else than the turbos?

Again, I agree with all of you, I AM AN IDIOT.

Are you 100% positive that you don't have a boost leak?

Default you are probably in limp mode.

if your turbos were blown, making no boost, you'd have other tale-tell signs...aka smoke, alot of noise, etc.

Default Oh please, I help plenty of people and hardly ever talk down to anyone (no pun intended).....

There's being intelligent, but not knowing about cars....and then there's just not being intelligent.

It's pretty easy to pick up on which is which when a n00b comes here. I like helping the intelligent ones that don't know about cars or at least our car specifically. I'll leave it to someone else to help the other group.

Default OK, I was a little harsh...

but at least tell the guy, no boost doesn't mean blown turbos...

then make jokes about his intelligence after.

You still never answered my question about why you have green coolant in your car.
