It might be turbo or head gasket. If its the head gasket then you would see antifreeze on the dipstick or if you take the oil fill cover off. If its the turbo, then your car will run like crap and you wouldn't have any boost. If you have no oil in your antifreeze or antifreeze in you engine, then its the turbo. If otherwise then its the head gasket
