I also never stated that the Turbonetics kit is the "holy grail of all turbo kits". Each kit on the market has its own plusses and minuses, but none of them will work without a proper installation.

Maybe you should read the instructions before installing your turbo.
I'm not "sucking tn's dick", just standing up for a reputable company who's reputation is being attacked irrationaly.
The only flaw in the kit I see here is that they allowed you to install it.
By all means do, but don't blame that manufacturer when you botch that install.
You're not getting my "opinion", you're getting facts. If sending you illustrated pictures and steps to relocate your PS cooler properly doesn't help, then I don't know what can.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE LINES , WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LINES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE POWER STEERING RACK.THE HARD LINES. NOT SOFT LINES IN THE FENDER OR AT THE FRONT WITH THE COOLER, DID YOU NOT SEE THE PICTURE I POSTED FROM TN'S MANUAL SHOWING THE LINE MAKING CONTACT.OPEN YOUR EYES
ONCE AGAIN, if you are not part of the solution, stay out of my post.

I was actually posting my last reply (look at the post times) when you posted that last picture (which is pretty hard to make out, anyway). Your original explanation was far from adequate, and this picture only slightly helps.
I've never heard of this line actually contacting, much less rupturing, at that point. I'd really have to get a better picure of how yours is oriented and look how mine is.
On top of that, your confusion when referring to relocation of the PS cooler only leaves everyone to believe you didn't follow the directions on the kit install.

Thanks for actually trying to help instead of belittling me like almost everyone else.
This is my car we worked on and that was over 5k ago. It worked and it wont cost you a thing. Only time and patience. Good luck!

So I take to my shop, put it on the lift, clean all the fluid off and I notice that the pipe coming off the driver’s side manifold is sitting on my power steering rack. It has either melted through, or worn through one of the metal hard lines and it now leaking like a sive. if you look at the bottom of the tranny, you see 2 metal lines, that run up and behinnd the cross brace. It is about 5-7 inches long , with 2 bends in it and has a AN fitting on each end. right where it bends around the crossbrace is where it is rubbing, and where it is leaking .

If you called me in this manner I would be inclined to hang up on you and block your phone number.
To those who helped me thank you very much,you saved me alot of time and effort with your expeirince. but quite honestly from now on ill just figure it out my self , its not worth taking a beating just because i dont aggree with the popular consisus .....
