Over heating problem after turbo.
I just finished stocking my car back to stock. I had a vf39 and put the regular one back in and all the stock stuff, but for some reason my car is over heating...I checked the reservoir and it was still full, the radiator full. but the reservoir on the manifold was pretty emptied. so i let the car cool down. I turned on the car and started putting more radiator or coolent into the reservoir ...its started bubbling so i kept on refilling it and its still doing it..I can really see any leaks coming from the turbo. ...anyone have any suggestions that may help me? thanks!
dont fill it by the reservior
you fill it at teh pressure cap expansion tank on the passenger side up high you take the pressure cap off and fill
i forget if you are suppose to slant your car up or down to get the last bubbles out

The funnel uses one of the caps and then screws onto where the stock cap goes, fill the funnel up half way and let it sit there while its running. once the car can't take anymore have a friend hold the rpms to 4000 while you use the t-handle inside the funnel to block any remaining fluid left in it. when you hold the car at a high rpm its going to "force" more fluid into the radiator, then you lift the funnel off the car and replace the stock cap before your friend lets off the gas. if you let off the gas before the stock cap goes on then you will loose all the fluid that was forced inside.
