corner seal leak....serious?
hey
im pretty sure i have a corner seal leak. the idle is a little lumpy and the the boost gauge needle flickers up and down, especially if im at half throtlle. but its been like this for some time now and the car runs really strong. vacume is around 18-19.
just wondering if its serious and needs IMMEDIATE attention.

It's most likely a slightly chipped apex seal.....I saw this exact symptom on a customer's car recently and upon teardown that was the culprit. Unfortunately, 'slightly blown' is like 'slightly pregnant'
