Well when I run my car hard I hear hissing and sizzling where the turbo water line adapter is. I have the SS lines for my turbo water lines. I was wondering if this would cause my car to overheat and lose coolant. I recently did MHG / ARP. There is not a single coolant leek elsewhere, no oil mixing with coolant/ milky coolant. I have straight tap water in the car atm so the water is a bit rusty. Besides that, the car pulls hard, no smoking or anything. Please feel free to chime in and thank you for all the replies.

Yes a leak and lose of coolant would cause your car to overheat. Also running straight water will cause the water to boil and evaporate. You really should use coolant.

Yea coolant should be used, the 50/50 mixed (coolant and dis-stilled water), straight coolant is a bad idea, being these systems at 20+ years old, and the pressure that straight coolant can build will start leaks else where.
