Default Turbo install advice

Hi there people ...

Just after abit of advice on a turbo change really ... Basically what I was wondering is, Im taking off my vf28 on my v5 to be replaced with another vf28, now I no when I remove the bottom coolant hose from the turbo I'm gonna lose a reasonable amount of coolant Is there anyway I can just top up or do I have to do a full coolant change ( remove bottom hose from rad ) and start again.

Many thanks

just clamp the coolant hoses and you will hardly lose any at all.
