I have had a small oil leak from the compressor housing on the rear turbo of my stock twin set-up..
They generally work fine just over boost a but if not careful where the actuator fills up with oil I think.. Anyway.. today I was coming home and had my foot down over taking something and heard a sort of balloon pop sound and felt the car lurch and slow in acceleration. I then noticed afterwards.. When I accelerated my first stage turbo was working fine and as soon as the second stage kicked in I lost all boost and could hear air wooshing from somewhere. Has the second turbo given up the go or has a pipe split? Cannot understand why I would hear air potentially escaping and loose boost if it was turbo failure but then it is quite a weird setup!
Help please!
Thank you

P.S.
I am working on getting a new turbo but funds are a little pushed at the mo!
See thread in Anything Engine/tunning/performance related section.
