can something be wrong w/a turbo even though it makes boost?
I know this is a 3rd gen section, but I figure turbos are the same and I need help with my TII. I was wondering if something could be wrong with a turbo even though it makes boost? My turbo spools up pretty quick but I can't feel the power come on. Really laggy and comes on slow and not hard at all. I took off the TID and it feels fine and spins freely. It's the original stock turbo w/150,000+ miles on it. Even though it boosts, could there be something wrong?

Don't turbos go bad, maybe the seals, and leak oil? Could this be the cause of my symptons? Thanks for responding.

Yes the seals can go bad and leak oil. But if you are getting the proper lbs of boost at the right rpms I don`t see how you`r turbo could be you`r problem.
