dp213 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 03 WRX milage unknown. Runs fine but it is bellowing steam from the turbo area. Looks like I am seeing some moisture bubbling at the up pipe connection to the turbo also. The car has been sitting for about a year so could condensation have settled in the low point of the header?

wtdash Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 When you installed that replacement TD04, did you replace the coolant lines? They get old and cracked like vacuum lines. Did you ensure the coolant copper crush washers were in good condition on BOTH sides of the banjo bolts? Many state to use new washers, but I've never had an issue reusing them (many times). The bubbling from the uppipe indicates a exhaust leak? Remember that the ICE process produces H2O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarusubarusubaru Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 try changing your intake/exhaust gaskets all around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp213 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I do need the exhaust gasket. The copper washers all looked good. I can't figure where that much moisture would come from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
