    This ok to drive with for a week?

    So the past couple of days i've been hearing a gurgling sound coming from my car during "spool" rpms, i've narrowed it down to either a big air leak or a blown turbo. I'm heading to Right Drive on the 16th for the meet and was curious if it was ok to drive until then without doing any serious damage.

    You could do a boost leak test with propane. Grab a small bottle and a screw-on torch head or a bbq tank with a long rubber hose off of the valve and run it along all your vaccum lines until you hear your idle increase. Idle jump = leak.
    Regards,

    What do you mean by gurgling? Like grinding or boiling water?
