nice weather, bite me.. its 7 here and snowing..

 

I love Florida

 

my head as arp headstuds, noticed that boost will flutter a little bit on the top end sometimes when i'm at WOT....

 

boost flutter, is either, youre over running the turbo, or you might be hearing your bov.. im assuming stock turbo..

 

I checked mine today, still low.

I guess I gotta add some coolant.

 

i can tell it's boost flucuation because it shows on my boost gauge...the turbo shouldn't be overrun because i'm running about 1.3 bar or so at peak boost

 

Can't you add some water too? I'm in Florida so I don't have to worry about it freezing.

 

i found the leak...it's from a hose leading out of the oil cooler. it was leaking coolant, so it was either a return or receive hose for the oil cooler. it was leaking from the metal fitting attached to the hose. but the part costs $88..is that normal price for a coolant hose on an evo?? or is the dealer i spoke really high priced?

 

sweet yur evo drinks coolant, i drank alot of beer tonight........ somehow i can still type.. lol

 

You could have a definet coolant leak or possibly a blown headgasket have you removed you oil fill cap. I f you do and see a foamy or green look you most likely have a blown head gasket. My Evo is one of the first in the US and it never eats up coolant.I hope it's just a loose coolant hose or maybe a hole in one of them my friend had the coolant hose to his turbo leaking and it took a little while to diagnose. Best of Luck

 

i have the same thing every thousand miles i have to fill up the resovoir. no leaks anywhere. No oil in coolant, no coolant in oil, not even a drip on the ground, plugs are spotless......ideas???

 

my leak was found from a coolant hose coming from the oil cooler. u can see it on bottom right front side of the car. check that hose. look for a small drip on your driveway..I only saw a drop of coolant on the floor after i moved my car to check for the leak. it dripped onto the underfairing first then on the ground which might be why you can't really notice it.

 

checked my coolant today b/c i seen this thread. Mine is full of the good 'ol green stuff!!
