We use a special funnel for burping the coolant system. Its a tight fit so it locks into the filler neck. The top has a large resivour so you put in a bunch of coolant, and the motor takes it as needed. Also allows the bubbles to escape. I also no longer have the tb coolant so its a bit of a pain to get all the air out. What did you different with the fans?

Update:



Fixed my coolant problem.. just a lot of air in the system.. so thats taken care of.



Oil leak taken care of.. i still have a small one from the oil pan. grrrr



Vacuum leak, taken care of as well, ended up being my primary injector "rail", wasn't tightened down all the way and was leaking air.



So, now i just need to tune it, drove it around today..



Caught one of my a/c lines on fire.. the black plastic tubing got against the turbo and lit up.. was not cool. but took care of it and wrapped that line in some heat tape so it should be all good now. I'll post pics soon.



As well as a dyno sheet sometime this month!
