ok i tried a different water pump on this turbo II i just got. it id alot better than the one on it before. but it still had a little leak. so i went to the store and got some stop leak. yea i know its bad for it. this stuff is suppose to be gauranteed not to mess up your cooling system. so any i put some of that in and mixed it with water and let it idle for a while. it did help. all the leakage had stopped. so about 20mins afer sitting the temp started rising and the upper radiator hose started getting blowded and a little bit after that it started comin outta the over flow and the tempture went a little over half way so i cutt if right off then. why does it do this. whats is the possible problems?? and how to fix it?? thanks

have you flushed the radiator? Use the powder stuff you have to mix.

check the vacume hoses off the valve that controls the waste gate, you may need to take the intake and air pump off to get a good view. I broke one off changing the water pump. This made it so that the wastegate could not open and i got boost spikes, an orange glowing turbo and god knows what else. I still haven't gotten it running.

change your thermostat. it'll do that with a bad one. that crap mighty screwed it up. it that doesn't change it. it could be the coolant seals...
