Another coolant hose blew. This time it was the coolant hose to the turbo. My last one that blew open was back in 06?

Are you using actual coolent hoses, or are you talking about the hard lines? That is od, if it's the rubber kind make sure the length is right. You want the hose to come striaght off the pipe, not at an angle.

Happened to me recently so I hit up my local Mitsu dealer and replaced all the coolant hoses Both radiator hoses ,both heater hoses, the two hoses off the throttle body, both of the hoses for the oil cooler and the two hoses off the thermostat housing cost a little over $100.00 . The hoses took a week to arrive though. Your best bet is to replace all the hoses for reliability and peace of mind.

It's the one that makes a sharp 90 trun off the thermostat housing. It's really soft when you press it. Size is a little smaller than 1/2 inch.
