Turbo Coolant Line Leaking On K5Y Rb25

[picklesRs4]

Hi there, I have just finished fitting my new high flowed turbo to my car and assembled everything and started putting coolant in the car and after about a litre or so it started pissing out of the coolant line that connects to the turbo, I didnt replace the brass washers as they seemed to be in pretty good condition, could that be where I went wrong?

Basically im hoping someone will be abke to give me possible easy fixes or just point out something that I dont know when re fitting turbos.

That's meant to say "my" not "k5y" sorry about that. Been a.long week

They are copper washers and yes its a good idea to replace them after every use. Sometimes you can heat them up and reuse without issue.

What advice are you after? It can only leak through that washer so if the washer is good in good condition just tighten up the bolt, if not replace the washer

i thought they were brass, my bad haha, i have the bolt done up really tight and a washer on either side of the coolant line. i'll see if heating it up does anything, thanks

i was basically hoping somebody had had something similar and could just tell me if it's just a common mistake that happens or problem with the lines themselves

If your gonna take it off to heat it up then just go and get some new ones, should be less than $1 for the 2 of them

check if you haven't cracked the hardline where it meets up with the banjo fitting...

I've done that before, took a while to work out where it was leaking
