uhh oohh! think i done something wrong!?
Hi everyone... I was just about to swap my turbo on my 03 wrx. Never done anything like this before and doesn't look so hard!
So took the intercooler off, then started to take the pipes off the turbo..
Then all of a sudden I took the top pipe off and greenyy sort of fluid pisssed out everywhere!!
What is it?

im in the process of swapping my turbo,i have removed all the bolts etc,there is a rubber coolant pipe that goes on the bottom of the turbo,and im struggling to see how you would get the clip back on it.as i pulled the turbo up(on removal) i looked at this hose and the clip didnt look like it was on before,it was about an inch and a half further down the hose,in effect not actually gripping the hose tight.
is this just a drain hose?i realise it should be put back on ideally.....but how????
replacement turbo is now fiited,but im a little worried about this.any ideas?

that oil return pipe just put a jubilee clip at the bottom and makes life easier to fit and guaranteed not to leak ,
as for the coolant pipes old spark plugs fit nicely to stop them leaking.

I got all the bolts out bar one! This ones a right b.....h! Haha... Just left it to soak over night in WD40.. Its the one on the underside of the bell mouth joint! The last one I didn't notice! And as soon as that's off I should be fine. Also going to have a go at taking the Uppipe off hopefully its simple! Is there any easy way on doing this? From under neath or ?
Thanks again! Jamie
