So - good news/bad news
Bad News: I heard from Blouch, pretty much everything but the housing of the turbo is trashed. $700 rebuild
cest la vie, it's still half the price of a new one.
Good News: I was worried about where the coolant and oil were coming from. Uppipe is clean, so is the intake.
I had Mann run a compression test to make sure the headgaskets/rings were sound
With the engine cold (and forged pistons)
Blouch is saying that the turbo's water jacket was pressure tested and is sound; so I wonder where the green stuff came from?

Cylinder 1: 143PSI
Cylinder 2: 141PSI
Cylinder 3: 145PSI
Cylinder 4: 146PSI
So I think we're good. Cylinder 2: 141PSI
Cylinder 3: 145PSI
Cylinder 4: 146PSI
