coolant flow

[spyderdrifter]

I just got my GST up and running a couple nights ago. But I still got coolant leaking from one of the lines coming off the turbo. If anyone has pics of the proper routing of the coolant lines coming off the turbo (mine's a t-28) that would be awesome. I just want to make sure mine are done right.

Where exactly is the leak?

I don't think it matters if you had the coolant lines mixed up with eachother on the turbo so long as its flowing through. They just recirculate back into the same place. On a side note though, the water pipes coming off the turbo are NOTORIOUS for cracking. You should check those.

Did you get new copper crush washers or reuse your old one? Also, did you use a torque wrench when installing the water lines? If yes to both then I would suspect a cracked line.

Yes I did use new crush washers, but didn't use a torque wrench to tighten them. My leak was coming from the 'T' connector going from those lines to the water neck. I ended up fixing that leack when the 'T' connector blew up while I was driving to work. Now I got a 1/4 inch metal 'T' connector in there and the leak is now gone. Thanks for the input.
