Post flood
Ok, so got the damn thing unflooded. Smoked up quite a bit, is it normal to have a burnt smell and smoke coming from turbo area after unflooding? It almost smells like something electrical burning. I rewrap the harness and replaced all vacuum hoses. So there's zip tie ends and old wiring harness insulation all over, I blew all that out with air. Do you think it's some residual junk, or should I tear that area down and investigate? I also sprayed WD-40 down intake manifold to get it to unflood, I was pretty careful not to get it all over the place. I had one of the turbo hoses go out on me a few months ago...exibited same smell and smoke. Hope it's not the same hose! What do you guys think?

Update, checked the turbo coolant hose. It's in good shape; just to be sure, I trimed a little of the end and reclamped down. It's still smoking a little bit, not as much as before. If you stand over turbo and look strait down the lower intake manifold, looks like it's coming from that area. Area around coolant hose is dry. I didn't touch anything around the LIM area. Any ideas what it could be? I did change O2 sensor, think it's exhaust escaping from there? Any one have any guesses? Just throw them out there, don't be shy.
