    Anyone think this might be a problem?

    A while ago I took the vert for a test drive. First time I laid into it it blew so much coolant out the side that someone called the fire department (coolant directly on turbo).

    trying to get it back together either for test and tune or the rental.

    Just dump a little pepper into the rad. It'll seal right up.

    No coolant smell, I vaporized instantly on the manifold and turbine housing. When it happened, there was a white out behind the car and for a minute I didn't know if it was coolant, engine oil, or ATF.

    Tried pepper then tried tried an egg. All that happened was I ended up hungry.
