leaky turbo

[trackTSIawd]

heres the deal i just bought a 92 tsi with a 6 bolt. its got a 14b on it with about 15,000 miles on it. after i did the clutch i put it on the road that day and babied it around for a while, it seemed to be fine so i started givin it to it to see what it had. after about 5 miles of beating the heat guage started going up so i pulled over and popped the hood. i opened the radiator after letting it cool and it was empty so i got it home and poured more water in it to see where the leak was... antifreeze started pouring out of a small hole on the turbo underneath the upermost turbo line... i have looked at diagrams of the turbo lines but this hole seems to be different has anyone ever heard of blowing a hole in a turbo? i was running about 19psi before it happend but thats what the car was tuned for

What's an uppermost turbo line? Are you talking about an oil feed or water feed line? Take a pic if possible...

if you are looking from the front of the car down on the turbo there is a hard line with a fitting towards the top of the turbo housing i know nothing about 14b's but i know it's leaking antifreeze so it must be water cooled

If it's the water line attached to the turbo, Then take it off and replace it(The turbo hasto come off.) If it's the hose that attaches the water line on the side of the block, To the water line from the turbo, Then replace it. It's just a little piece of hose.
