coolent in the intercooler

I am trying to get my tII running and it has been giveing me some difficulty. I pulled off the intercooler to check to make sure i had everything connected and coolent poored out the connection to the turbo. I know that it has coolent lines on the side of it, but should coolent actually be inside of it? i pluged up one of the coolent spouts and blew threw the other one and got no resistance. Is my intercooler bad?

there is no coolant lines that run into the intercooler, sounds like you hooked one of the AWS coolant lines to it by mistake..

then what are those other 2 hoses that connect into the intercooler? are they vacume hoses? if they are how is coolent getting into my intercooler. it could be water, could condensation form in the intercooler?

ive never seen condensation in the intercooler, those 2 hoses are for air bypass valves.

i got the car started with starting fluid and it dose appear to be water, but every time i run the car their appears to be more of this fluid. i am only running the car for a few seconds at a time since i can only get it running on starting fluid.

You either have something hooked up incorrectly, or you have a blown turbo. Check for coolant in the compressor housing of the turbo, if it is dry then you have a hose routed incorrectly.
