No need to start ripping on him, this is an issue here on this forum, people who seek help who don't know much on what they are posting the question on (I myself am one) get ripped on by others due to the fact that it appears to be a straight forward and simple/stupid question to you guys. Doesn't give you right to rip into them for not knowing as much as you. This may not be that visible in this thread but I've certainly seen a lot of it.

So Congrats on that....I do however know that is how a turbo works....it however is also has an electronic aspect of it as well. But, I am not going to get into it on this place.....So yeah I am going to replace the lines and the turbo.

But to get on topic, no a coolant flush wouldn't affect your turbo in any way, shape or form, neither would a goddamn oil change. I mean come on, it's an oil change, just the thought of one suddenly breaking a turbo is ridiculous unless you accidentally diluted it with some crazy solvents to thin it out to the point of being useless. Do you even have any evidence whatsoever that it's the turbo? What codes are you getting? There's no such thing as a "P1xxx: your turbo is trashed" code.

In the same notion, I won't make snarky, sarcastic responses unless someone is getting argumentative about something they're clearly wrong about. In this case, OP's posts made it seem like he was talking out of his *** and at the same time talking down to us, and then bringing in a random spec sheet as irrefutable evidence.

See I like smart people. I have not touched it yet but soon will have the codes and look into it. I know this car has been around so with that said....maybe it is old oil in the lines or just small clog in the cooling line....my car is old and stock so the down time it had before coming into my hands could of effected it. I am going to take good care of her.

on the aeb for sure but i don't know about others, the boost is controlled by the ecu (hence getting ur car chipped) basically the (turbo system ) is controlled electronically. but you are absolutely correct on how a turbo operates.
