Re: Coolant in my intercooler? WTF?

Damaging your turbo to the point that coolant begins to leak into the intake side is fairly unlikely. And if that was the case, I'm guessing you'd be able to tell pretty easily as I'd think the turbo would be completely toast.

But really, I don't know how else there could be coolant in there. Unless you're confusing your IC with your radiator? haha.

Only other thought is if your headgasket went, head or block cracked, anything that may have caused your coolant to mix with your oil, and then that fun mixture made it's way past your turbo oil seals and that is what was in your intercooler?
