The turbo return line was opened though haha so I have to clean up that mess tonight.

Crossing my fingers that the turbos and motor are still healthy

Did you have the thermostatic Mocal plate? If so, that thing is bad.

Yes that's the one I have. Unfortunately was with the car when I bought it.

It has a thermostat inside that opens up. Not sure why this happened. I would have to take it apart to see. I have one on my car and would like to know myself.

I think the way you worded it - it sounded like you were saying the Mocal plate is bad in general, not that this particular one is bad. =)

I think tons of people are running Mocal plates and are happy with them... unlike the Mishimoto trash.
