Hi all, Geting all ready for nurburg in my impreza sti v1, and my water pipe from turbo splits, Causeing HG to blow!

Thing that really annoyed me was it only went very very minor, Cylender - water side, so insted of water entering the cylender, the gas's from the cylender where over pressureizing the system, causeing the water to escape from that rad cap!

I intended to do it befor nurburg but due to "royal mail" been sh1t, my gaskets never arrived meaning i had to take my 106gti.

So anyway, i started to take the engine and parts of.
