1) Yes, the leak can cause the turbos to be overworked some. Not a major issue, but it isn't perfectly harmless.

2) I doubt the coupler that is leaking comes with that kit. You should find the leak now, so if the coupler is not in the kit you can order it and install them all at once. No point taking it all apart twice.

dgeesaman is right, it's not completely harmless, but I'd rather drive around with low boost anyday than too much! I value my apex seals too much :biggrin:
