Steady on! I mean has anyone ever suffered a failure of the water feed and return on the turbo? mine has corroded (prob due to poor materials and labile temps) just thought id see if its a common thing? will prob replace with a stainless made up jobbie but removal looks a task. Ive only had the BEAST a week and i wanna play out! Gaz

I'm replacing all the turbo coolant hoses on my M400 engine with Goodridge G800 hose and hose ends, so if you need a 3000 mile replacement steel hose section PM me.

Mine is an '03 too and just had all the hoses replaced water and oil with silicone stuff, looks the job too now its all done, and what a difference to all the temps and pressure its made, the car runs as it should now.
