So anyway, this xmas morning, I wanted to go for a cruise up Sierra from Piedmont in San Jose all the way around to Milpitas next to a church because I bought an intake blah blah blah and wanted to try out my new BOV. So, I went up there; climbing the hill @ 25 to 40 mph then when I get halfway, BAM! I look at my gauges and see my Coolant temp. is sky HIGH!
I turn the heater on full blast and pop my hood. I see water shooting out my compressor housing and steam out of my exhaust manifold...I thought I was done for..headgasket.
I waited for my motor to cool down, turned it off and added water. Little after, I squeezed my upper radiator hose and can hear water coming out. I found that I popped a little water hose on my turbo!
I replaced it after getting burned by the heat shield and water and good ol' people stopping and helping me out (old man stopped and got me 2 gallons of water.
)
I got home..
but, I don't know if I hurt anything other. Hopefully, my headgasket is fine because I don't see coffee when I pull my dip stick or see coffee in my water as well.
But, anyway have that for a xmas morning and to end the year.
