Re: Bubbles / surging in coolant after turning off engine

Remember the hot side turbo coolant exit is straight to the coolant tank.( probably the source ) Make sure you have a good radiator cap, if it is venting at all, it will gurgle until the pressure is released. 17lbs.

I think you may have passed the point of no return here but if you can't find a 90 to fit the down pipe you could try this.
