So I recently installed a rebuilt turbo. It has about 120 miles since then and it runs great. I've only been at WOT maybe 4 times, only one at 17psi -- the others at about 12. I noticed the other day that it was running warm, so I replaced the thermostat. However I was worried because my windows were fogging up. The thermostat seemed to help. That was yesterday. Today, it was getting warm again. Then I noticed antifreeze dripping from the heater core into the passenger floorpan. I knew that was a bad sign. I took a right turn into my driveway and my foot got soaked in antifreeze -- it POURED into the floorpan. There is now a puddle in the driver's side of the car. I already ordered a new heater core and am dreading the thought of ripping this dash out which unfortunately I've had the pleasure of doing before. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem before??
Thanks in advance.
No need to pull the whole dash out....

Minus draining the A/C it can be done in under 3 hours.
That's good news. I have the A/C off of the car at the present time.
I didn't have A/C the last time I did it and the first time I had a shop drain and refill it.
I've heard that you can do the job without having to touch the A/C system, but I honestly don't know...
I've said this before,I did mine in about an hour following Eric's advice.Nothing to it.
Vinnie, I wish I lived closer to you.
