URGENT URGENT APS Turbo help I got my APS TT dont yesterday and was filling the car up with coolant and after it was full, I noticed that coolant was leaking out of the passenger side turbo air inlet. I disconnected the discharge pipe and coolant pours out. Coolant also was dripping out of the back of my mid-pipe.
The car WAS NOT started....only filled up with coolant.
The lines are in the correct orientation so Im trying to figure out what other things can be wrong.....seals, etc. ?
I really need some help guys

Thats not really what I wanted to hear, but its actually the first option other thank switching the lines up that I have heard. Thanks
Hmm.I got a dud turbo it must be internally cracked it poured coolant into my oil pan .I was very lucky caught it within first minute or so of fire up with the new kit and the new 408.Could have cost me an engine.
I am simply running my turbos oil cooled only. There is no way to hook up the lines wrong on the turbos but maybe on the heads? Not sure where you hook things up on the vettes just the f body and the aps site is down. Not sure if they are under or what is going on.
At least you can get replacement turbos from other sources if aps is byebye.
I am just going to run my current one for a bit and see what happens.I would think if it was screwed it would put coolant into the engine not out the inlet side.? That don't make much sense. have you checked your oil? Funny thing too is that it don't put oil in the coolant on mine.
The water cooling is optional if you have the same 20g turbos that the f body kits have. Many people run only the oil cooling .But the oil cooling is critical dont' try to run just water cooling!

Update:
Lines were crossed at the head / oil distribution block. Its so tight in there it was just hard to follow.
Nobodys fault but mine. Now I just gotta try to get all the coolant out of the turbos. Ive got the discharge pipe disconnected to no coolant goes into the motor.
