Default It's ALIVEEEEEE!!!One issue

Well guys. The MS3 along with all my other componets are in. Fired the car up and it started right up and ideled at 900. I was soo happy. BUT then i saw there is a little coolant leak in the back of the intake. So after work ill pull the intake and hope its an easy fix. Could only be the little coolant pipes right? Anyhow, there was no valve train noise, and ideled for about 3 min right at 900 RPM's. Man im happy

holla
