Are you over heating at all, what rad did you go with, using hydro fan?

take off the hotside pipe from where it goes from your twins to the single pipe... if you feel coolant dripping out of the cast pipe then you likely have a leaking seal on a turbo

Only 2 options:
- Turbos
- Mixed coolant/vacuum lines (yes I've seen it...)

There's no coolant seal in the turbo. The coolant cavity doesn't come in direct contact with the shaft or rotating parts in the turbo. Maybe if the center housing was cracked it could leak coolant from the CHRA to the charge pipes, but that's a long shot.

My vote is for a coolant hose being hooked up to a vacuum hose.
