S5 turbo colling hard line issue
I have an s5 turbo and i was wondering if its ok to just not run coolant through the turbo. I have a small leak coming from the inside banjo bolt and someone suggested i just not run the coolant through the turbo. Im not sure it that is good for the turbo. Any thoughts?

sure why not..
You can afford a New turbo right?.
The crush washer is about 45 cents,and last time I checked that is cheaper than a New Turbo.
Don't use any sealer to 'temporarily fix" this small leak.It is best to just Break down,get slimy(coolant is slick stuff!) and fix the damn leak!
