evo owners be aware...

if u r running high boost, constantly beat on ur car be aware of this. the coolant seal by the turbo might deform. recently i've been smelling coolant from my engine bay, so i took it to the dealership. they found the coolant seal by the turbo was deformed. they replaced it under the warrantee. that is it, just wanted to inform my fellow evo owners.

Not really but it presented the possibility of coolant leak over time. Not a good thing for such a hot running car
