Son of a BYATCH! Ok I took off the turbo because it went bad as some of you have read already. I got the one in that I bought and I put it all on, changed the exhaust gaskets, cleaned the oil lines, cleaned the coolant line and all that. When I took off the oil return line to change the gaskets some oil leaked out and it was black, good. I hooked it all back up, double checked everything actually to make sure it was all hooked up right. I started it up and it was idling really badly, so I let it run a sec, then I heard some water dripping so I shut it off. There was water all over under the engine, and a puddle of chocolate milk starting to form. The oil line that hooks up to the top of the block was stripped and oil.water mix was coming out and dripping down. I didn't get a chance to see where the water was coming from. Could a turbo swap have blown the head gasket?? Can the turbo being bad (if it is bad) leak oil into the water and cycle it through the motor? HOW THE HELL did this just happen?! HELP QUICK PLEASE!
