WTF? I would think there would have to be a crack somewhere in the center section for it to get in there.

I'm sure your pissed.

That is just sick. I am also pretty sure it would have to be cracked to leak coolant into there. That really F-ing sucks, sorry to hear that. I have dealt with customer service a few times at precision and they are pretty good. Good luck man

thanks...I got it directly from precision and I believe it has a 1 year warranty so they should be fixiing it.

I used the banjo fitting from precision with a-6 fitting welded on the end of the pipes

on your digital camera there is a button with a little flower on it, push it next time when you want to do close ups, you'd be amazed at how much clearer the pictures are /picture rant

you are sure this isn't coolant coming from the cylinders right? hate for you to ship something back and them to be like, nah, its not the turbo.

im sure this will get straightened out, precision is good about customer service/backing up their warranty.

so im guessing no moroso for you this weekend?

im heading there tommorow and was hoping to see some of the big power street honda's from florida (esp. miami) out there.

hope you get this resolved soon

noo, you can run a BB without coolant at a track, look at most of the drag cars out there.

oh ok....
i have alot of buddys who have never had problems not runnign coolant to thier bb turbos..

if your getting it fixed by precision warranty might as well do it though.
i know precision won't cover you under warranty if you don't run coolant.
