I have an s5 turbo and i was wondering if its ok to just not run coolant through the turbo. I have a small leak coming from the inside banjo bolt and someone suggested i just not run the coolant through the turbo. Im not sure it that is good for the turbo. Any thoughts?

 

sure why not..
You can afford a New turbo right?.
The crush washer is about 45 cents,and last time I checked that is cheaper than a New Turbo.
Don't use any sealer to 'temporarily fix" this small leak.It is best to just Break down,get slimy(coolant is slick stuff!) and fix the damn leak!

 

ya. Ill just have to do it all over again.

 

Honestly, OP, dont take any more advice from whoever told u that if u love ur cars...styx is right on.

 

maybe you just need to tighten the bolt down. the turbo is easy to remove.

 

Thats what it is. I need to tighten it down. I wanst able to torque it properly when i transfered the lines. Long story.
