 I no longer have the draw though setup, but I can tell ya first hand,
the post turbo TB doesn't stop the turbo from giving up oil. :) Got my
intercooler off right now, and it's coated pretty good. The track opens
in less than a month, I think I'll pull the turbo now and put a seal in
it.
 I've seen both turbo's and the seal is no different from one type to
the other. I've never heard anyone mentioning any difference in turbo
seals before, although there may well be a difference I can't see.
