Ok so i found a lucky buddy to buy the T25 that came with my engine for his 92 sr20DET coupe. Heres his problem he decided to go with steel braided hoses like i did he installed everything himself called me up and told me the hoses wouldnt stop leaking no matter what he did. I look over his work and see that he mixed the oil and coolant lines up and let his engine run for a while as he checked for leaks. We immediately disconnected the hoses from the block and wala! collant in the oil and oil in the coolant. Now I did the only few things i knew to that would make sense. I had him empty his radiator(ALL NICE AND Green antifreeze) then let the oil out of his engine ( Im pretty sure there was coolant in that, unless he just changed his oil to a very thin weight. That doesnt worry me I know the drill; flush it ou) The one thing i could not help him figure out wether or not he needed to remove th turbo itself or just diconnect the oil return line and let the coolant out. I feel bad for him I sold him this turbo and recommended getting the steel braided hoses to him. Let me know if you guys have any clue or what else he should check for ill be working on this with him until hes up and cruising again.

Ide say change out the filter, then fill it with some cheapo oil and run it for a few minutes the change the oil and filter again, this should flush the coolant out of the turbo and anywhere else it has gotten.
