Ok, First the stats. 87 turbo. Auto. new 7m-gte in january. new radiator and water pump. (My last thread)
Can't find a leak of any kind even hot and under preasure.
Still getting leak seal out (from last owner) that ruined radiator. It was rediculouse...I think he added it every fill up.
No water in the oil.
No oil in the water.
Water dissapears at the rate of about 1/3 gallon a day.

((((By the way, the answer to my last water question, why it wouldn't return to the radiator from over-flow= Pinched return line.

))))

So supra Brainiacs...Could my turbo be eating my water when its spooled up?

The exaust isn't that steamy when is running and I don't smell coolant. But I can't check it when the turbo's going cause I can't run that fast while sniffing the exaust....LOL...

Any ideas...Plus... just a bonus for those who really do know it all...My 89 turbo that I used to have was a 5 speed. The turbo only kicked after 3200rpm. Shops used to tell me it didn't work, but k&n told me differant every time is spooled....Yee haw!!!.... How could they tell. Is there a way to spool it in a shop? Or is it in the codes? This one starts moving the guage in the mid 1000's and never leaves me wanting. Just a tap and she poores on the presure. (Kicken about 11-12lbs

//I know stock is 7.5 that's not the question) Are all auto trans turbo supras that way? Or am I just lucky...?

Just put on a Spectre cone yesterday and oh boy does it sound great...(Chose spectre for price, open end for better intake than K&N and appearance.)
