Default 2001 2.7T turbo question

Hi guys,

I may be slightly paranoid, but lately I cannot hear my turbos spooling, and the car seems not to have quite the same sort of power surge under full throttle as it used to.

Are there any obvious signs that the turbos are leaking or have had it?

Thanks!

They would most likely be louder. I would imagine you're fine, but if it still worries you then un-clamp the lower intercooler hoses and check for pools of oil (a film of oil in the pipping is normal).
