Like MixMan stated in the original post, you could temporarily by pass it. I have a hard enough time posting pictures in the Classifieds so I don't know that I could make a diagram showing you how to route the lines. The original TB bypass thread had some pictures of the back of the motor that might help you make sense of how to route the lines. But the reroute would at least allow you to rule out that hardline tree if it didn't solve your problem. If a clog has already made it to the turbo, we have a bigger issue. It seems like a good coolant flush is in order once we get this resolved so you don't run into anymore issues down the road.
