    First, thanks to all for your help on my DI cassette problem.
    I got my new one today, gapped the new plugs, installed the lot
and it fired right up. Boy was I psyched!
     Then I hit the gas at the end of my street.. no turbo :-(

     Here is the deal. I'm a "backyard machanic". So while diagnosing
my problem on my 2001 95 2.3T, I pulled the top black, 2cm diameter or
so hose in the front of the throttle body , which I thought was a fuel
line. I now realize that the 3 to 6 oz of fluid that came out was
probably some kind of "turbo juice". I am fairly sure this is the cause
of my turbo failure.

    Questions: What is it? How do I replace it?
    (If I need to post a link to a picture, no problem)

Thanks again,
John Hooven

If it's anything like my 9-3 throttle body then it's heated, so you
probably lost some coolant. There aren't any special fluids for the
turbo, but there is a lot of air ducting and hoses, all of which needs
to leak-free. Are you sure everything is connected back up properly?

Cheers,

Colin.
