Coolant spilled into compressor housing
OK so I was working on the car yesterday, and took the SSQV off to clean it. As I was removing one of the coolant hoses it sloshed coolant out and some ended up spilling into the compressor housing from above. I took a rag and stuffed it in there to wipe it out, but Im not entirely sure if I did get it all. Is this a bad thing? Or will any coolant that did make it down there just burn off? Im not trying to mess my car up.

Clean up what you can, then start the car and drive it easily. The airflow will suck the coolant through the engine over time...Just don't get into the boost for a little while to avoid banging the compressor against any pooled coolant....

thanks. think some coolant like that will bog the engine down at all? I just put in 720cc secondaries, along with an rtek 1.7 and walbro, and just driving the car around the block I can tell that something definately isnt right. Im getting almost no response, even doing light driving. I figured I must have botched the injectors somehow and was going to check them out again, but figured that maybe it had something to do with the coolant. What do you think?
