Well an engine with a turbo won't have to work as hard on the highway.. You may also have some drone from the exhuast.

Yes it is 209376 km driven. i had to change some things when i got it like 2 brake discs, 2 pads and other small things.
The mechanic wrote a list of other things that need to be changed soon but it will cost around 1000$ so i'm saving for it.

I Live in Finland. cars are very expensive and repairs are more expensive :/

I'll try to take a video clip of the motor running to show you guys.

the car is 1.8 20v Facelift 92kw/125hp year 2000. i bought it with 7600$.
I think you dont that version in the USA right ?

i did put my hand around the hissing sound but i didn't feel any air leaking so it is good

Here is a video of the motor "sorry for the bad quality but i don't have any good video camera"

Your valve cover made me laugh. Its like they just didn't add the "turbo" before the 5V part
