After I get to work, I park the car and everything seemed normal. About 15 minutes later my boss says to me:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, your car is smoking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I stop what I&#8217;m doing, look out the window and had the typical &#8220;WTF&#8221; look on my face. I got out and see that I&#8217;ve got coolant all over the place and under the car. After further inspection I saw found that my coolant line that goes from the turbos to water pump decided to take a dump and diarrhea&#8217;d all over my engine bay. I had to get it towed to my friend&#8217;s shop <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Elite-Auto-Performance\/156602614368694\">Elite Auto Performance<\/a> where I could work on it some more. Gave Ash at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mazdatrix.com\">MazdaTrix<\/a> a call and they had the part I needed on the shelf so the next day I picked up the part and installed it on the car. While I was installing it, I found that lots of other lines\/nipples were baked and either cracked or broken. Another thing I need to tackle with the car. Take a look at the pictures from the whole ordeal.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
