Re: Pommies New Turbo
Re-burping the system isn't hard. Just run the car from cold with the cap off until no more bubbles come out and it should remove most of the air from the engine area. Bleeding the air from the heater and radiator would be a good safety measure as you never know where air could have gone with the system being open at the turbo pipes. Should take less than 30mins. Just follow the BGB method.

Re: Pommies New Turbo
Plastic bags and rubber bands. You will be forced to bleed the system, the quickest method I have found after doing it too many times is;
Premix the concentrate with the water before so you're ready to go
You can look through the rear window at the tacho, use the throttle body and keep the funnel topped up at the same time
If you want a hand I have all the tools needed
- jacking up the rear
bleeder hose on radiator and heater
stick a funnel in and fill it with coolant
start it
let it warm up to temp
slowly rev between 2-3K for a couple of minutes
ten quick jabs on the throttle
turn it off
let it cool down for half an hour

Re: Pommies New Turbo
On an AW, a piece of heater hose taped into the top of a cut off 1.5L coke bottle fits into the filler neck just right. Can't remember if it's 1/2" or 5/8" hose. Coolant into the bottle also acts as a bit of a header tank to help push out the air bubbles too and no leaks around the hose.
See ya
