Well the latest problem with my TT is a 'minor' coolant leak from one of the front turbo lines. Small but annoying. The only way it seems I can get to the lines to fix the leaky gasket (or whatever it is ) is to remove the turbo assembly. Before I do this does anyone know if these lines are really necessary? Can I just disconnect them and block them off? Sure would save a lot of hassle.

Yep, that's what I did. Had to pull everything off except the turbo itself. With everything out of the way I could get at the lower nut holding the lines on, just. Looked like someone had attempted a repair here in the past. They had used silicone but not removed all of the old gasket, left just enough to cause me a problem. The moral of the story is, make sure you scrape off every trace of the old gasket unless you want the leak to resurrect.
