Boost Leaks Fixed (for Now)

The Pocong was hospitalized for a week in Wynn’s for welding up the cracks on the K03S turbo housing that made of cast iron. At the same time, he also took the liberty in cleaning up the throttle body, AC blower and tighten up the engine’s subframe before ran full system checks. 

Upon collected the car last Saturday morning, I decided to drop over at Alex’s for 105k kms service considering Raya holidays is around the corner. Of course the welding exercise is just temporary solution as I was told there’s another crack near the compressor shaft which is not repairable and that means new turbo is inevitable after all. Oh well, I’m going to lay low for now :)
