    so i go to the shop, they test it for vacuum leaks, i come back, inj o rings leaky, and a couple other spots including my turbo, for some reason my turbo is leaking air out around the seal and actually sending air into my crankcase has anyone ever experienced this

    o yea not to mention i found out i detonated a little bit, based on a couple little black specks on my plug

    There is a seal on the compressor side of the turbo designed to stop the air from leaking.... That seal should be replaced during a standard t series rebuild job.
