Message :Just replaced my radiator and hoses last weekend to repair a slight leak, so I knew something else would go wrong since something ALWAYS has to be wrong with these damn cars.........
:Took it out tonight and when I put it back in the garage and started wiping it down, about 3 minutes after I shut it off I hear what sounds like a pan full of water being dumped on the exhaust. I pop the hood and there is some steam from the back of the motor and some coolant splashed around a little back there. Too dark to see exactly where.
:What all is back there? Sounded like a hose ruptured to me. Looked to be about dead center of the motor. Drivers side turbo coolant line was replaced 10k-20k ago, so that should not be it. Drivers side looks to be fine and it seems to far to the center for that.
:I believe there are some lined that run under the plenum - are they prone to rupture? Heater lines maybe?
:Other thoughts?

if I was you i would take the plenum off and eliminate the water hoses that run underneath it and through the throttle bodies and just run a hose straight to each turbo. Its pretty easy if you know how to work on cars. And while the plenum is off check the hoses that that go to into the firewall to the heater core.
