My first question is - can the wrong radiator cap (MKIV Turbo) on a MKIII cause enough increased pressure to cause a freeze plug blow?
I have searched and have found some good info so far, I just blew the freeze plug right near the turbo - My car sat for about four years before I bought it and then completely rebuilt the motor ( I have upgraded the turbo, injectors, exhaust etc... - I have replaced just about everything else as well... including all the coolant hoses..
Since it's been cold and since I've been running the heater is it possible I could've blown some crap loose from the heater core and caused a clog somewhere?
Before the freeze plug blew - it was running good and temp was fine - I'm running about 15 psi on the turbo.
I will get the toyota freeze plug to be sure and double check the two small coolant hoses as well...
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance...
