water-to-air leakage problem Well, I'm about to say F-it and go with A/A....hopefully someone can help me..
I have the TTi Race Kit w/ W/A intercooling. I had some problems with the pump leaking about a week ago.
Placed a call with TTi, got a new pump sent to me, hooked it up, and, it's still leaking from the pump...no from the inlet/outlet hose connections, but, from the black plastic housing it looks like. I triple checked and made sure it wasn't leaking from the inlet/outlet hose connections.
damnit man!
I opened up the reservior and see that water is indeed making its way there...so, I'm not sure what it is. Do I have blockage in the hoses? There are no crimps.
Any ideas what to check out???

i had a little issue with these pumps a while back.. look up the manufacturer info.. i bought a rebuild kit for mine and it stopped leaking.. maybe fixes some manufacturers defect?
wouldnt hurt to pop it apart and seal it up with some rtv while you are in there.. i think its just an o ring thing.

back flushed the system with water, and reattached the new pump. Still leaking....
MM was yours leaking around the plastic housing (where it bolts up to the electric motor) ? That's where mine is leaking from.
I'm sending the pump back and seeing if they can get me another one. Maybe it was just a bad pump to begin with.
Ugghhh this troubleshooting stuff...

You've had yours for a long time right? have you had to replace it before?

If the 2nd replacement still does it, then I'll take it apart and check everything.
