HELP needed with Garrett turbo problem
Hi guys,just fitted a garrett gt 29 to my P1,which i bought s/h,there was a water pipe missing from the left side of the turbo,so i got a straight banjo water pipe which sits facing up then has to loop round back down to the water feed pipe from the block,anyway,just been for a test run and first off the turbo sounds really noisy 
,like a supercharger,and wont boost above 0.8 bar,(feels fine upto this and no smoke),went straight back had a look under the bonnet and it was extremely hot like puttin your head in front of a furnace,also it sounded like the water was boiling up inside the turbo 
,could i have an air lock?,or is the new upward facing water pipe no good?,any help here guys im stressed
