Auxiliary turbo coolant pump, bypassing - a warning

[Kevin Phillips]

I fitted my glue and screw repaired turbo coolant pump today. It has been
by-passed with a 3/4" gray PVC 90 degree elbow.
I noticed that the elbow has changed shape rather drastically and I think it
could have failed sometime later. I have only done 1 hot run from the
airport the other night (lots of fun) so I think that the coolant gets too
hot for the PVC to handle.
If you are going to do this by-pass yourself consider it to be very
temporary.
