How do you know the turbo's gone bad...do you already have the new turbo in? Oil in those hoses is totally normal if you aren't dumping your PCV vapors.

Not really worth cleaning it out unless your situation is exceptional. You can use a solvent like gasoline or alcohol to clean it.

So with the new turbo in I'm only getting 5psi at low range then it drops to 0 at high rpm. Im also getting a click noise when I lay off the throttle from the mass airflow I think it's throwing the p0101 code. Another thing, I think I have an exhaust leak on my downpipe right at the turbo. I need help I'm so frustrated!
