sounds like you've aquired a minor boost leak and it's overboosting your turbos, eating at the seals. either that or your turbos are just worn out and don't wanna go anymore

You usually have to pressure test the coolant system overnight to find a leak in the coolant system. Get the pump that attaches to the fill cap or take it (dare I say it) to a dealer and just ask them to do it. It doesn't involve solenoids or tubowhatsits so the dummies should be able to figure it out.
