What is turbo lag?
Turbo lag is the issue within turbochargers between the throttle and torque power. It happens when an excessive amount of exhaust pressure builds up in the engine and slows the response of the turbo and pump compressor. Alternatively, you may experience turbo lag if minimal exhaust gasses spool the turbine.
What causes turbo lag with an oil leak?
A turbo that has an oil leak may overheat quickly and thus not perform optimally, but other mechanical issues can be at fault too. A torn or detached boost pipe can leak air and cause turbo lag, as can a blocked intake, a faulty intercooler, or even a loose wastegate or boost actuator.
