How could coolant get into the intake track from a turbo?

Did a little more digging today and realized that my engine may have possibly been overheating because one of my vacumm hoses was stuck in the fan and also the lower intercooler hose was loose. I'm going to clean out my intercooler tonight and then check for shaft play on the turbo and put everything back together and see if shes running better.

Cleaned out the intercooler and checked the turbo for shaft play. There was no shaft play at all havent had time to put everything back together to see if this changes anything with the engine.

It's probably the headgasket then. Does your coolant overflow bottle boil when the car is running?

Ok got everything put back together and im still having the engine stall. while the enging was smokine from the oil on the wet test i noticed that there was an exhaust leak where the turbo bolts up the the exhaust manifold. Could this cause a boost leak causing my problems?

An exhaust leak before the turbo causes the turbo to spool slower.

I read the whole thread again, but nowhere did I see: I pressurized my intake system and it held xxLBS of boost for xxxAmount of time.

You need to do this.

I would not recommend upgrading your stock intercooling setup quite yet, stock is actually pretty good, run e85 and you probably can get away with not upgrading it.

build a tester, pressurize the system, the mitusbishi MAS system actually works quite well, and 1G's in general run great with no CEL's the only sensor that goes wrong is the temp sensor, but that causes startup issues, not stalling issues.

I would also run some tests to see if your IAC system is working properly, a properly working IAC system makes your car very very nice.

Run e85? Wouldn't that be bad for your turbo?

Based on your previous statments, bring your car to someone that's more competant with dsm's...
