Boost ?

The best thing you can do for your turbo past the maintenance issue (and yeah... any leaks will really play havoc with performance) is get the turbo timer. Failing that, remember that after your turbo spools up, you want to let it run non-spooled for at least 5 minutes to cool down. Otherwise, it can back the oil on it after you shut off the car. The turbo timer will run the engine after you shut off the car and lock it up for a pre-set time so that this never occurs.

If you aren't familiar with the turbo and what connects to what, i would recommend a mechanic (trusted!). Let him look it over first before you start playing with it, because in the end, its best to do it right.
