Got Coolant And Oil In My Intercooler Pipes what do i to get that crap out of it?? and I also installed my Koyo Racing Radiator and the intercooler duct wont fit anymore!!! anyone know how to remedy this??

 

Buy new turbos and don't drive the car. Oil is normal in the i/c pipes, just a thin coat, but coolant isn't ok!

 

wow, coolant leaking from the turbos, thats one of the first I've heard. Did you have those rebuilt when they did the engine? Who did the work on them, if any, and who did the install work, maybe they screwed something up. Ours does have the water/coolant cooled center section, with oil on the bearings etc. as well.

the reason the IC duct doesn't fit anymore is because it was more than likely made for the stock radiator/fan setup. With the koyo being thicker than stock, the fans are now a tad higher-toward the IC duct. you can do 2 things, shim the fan shroud so that the fans sit lower (slow and not much fun) or bend the upper radiator brackets down some so that it, again, sits lower. I had to do that to mine to make room for the M2 duct.

well i figured out why coolant was in the intercooler pipe, it was because my AST tank one of the little nipples broke off and the lower pipe on my intercooler poped off, so when my AST tank started spiting out coolant everywhere it must have gotten into the lower intercooler pipe.
