well we started digging in, removed the AC and the coolant tree, and the upper intake, cleaned a little

when my car went down for the count it was because the turbo shot coolant out of it, well when we pulled my upper intake off in runner #2 it was FILLED with the green stuff, we're guessing the valves are closed on the rest, so....we're gonna shop vac as much as we can and then let it smoke the great white smoke!

i'm going to paint or polish everything and put on the TC intake and intercooler (already got the IHI) on there,

does anyone know where i can find silicone coolant hoses that arent red?

Sounds like a prescription for ruin. If you run that engine, you should change the oil and filter first--after you've sucked up and swabbed up all the green stuff you can. Otherwise, bye-bye bearings (ALL of them).

YMMV
