  18. It could be because air is escaping from the system due to a leaky turbo resonator.

  19. #4- INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION

  20. Reduced engine efficiency due to a leaky turbo resonator can translate to poor gas mileage.

  21. Fix the issue to prevent your vehicle from consuming more fuel than usual.

  22. #5- VISIBLE DAMAGE MARKS ON RESONATOR

  23. Check the turbo resonator for signs such as: Visible cracks Splits Marks
