Coolant in the Intake (long)

In the course of putting on a K&N air filter from Swedish Dynamics (If you make the mistake of buying from them, at least get installation directions from someone else) I followed the directions and cut my intake hose. Turns out that this was not only unnecessary but deterimental to my car. I had to use duct tape to connect the AMM to the rubber intake hose which then led to the turbo. Finally got a replacement hose today and was swapping it in when I noticed coolant all over the place on my intake hose, some dried and crusted to the turbo, etc. Does anybody have any idea what happened? It siphoned off my coolant (as my EDU started notifying me) and now I have to flush that. It just worries me that this happened. I am hoping that with the intake being back up to spec everything will be ok again but am unsure. Also am worried about damage that may have already been done to the engine thanks to this experience.
Also, I have been having troubles getting my tires off. The last time it was in the shop someone went torque crazy on some of the bolts. Does anybody have tips on getting these bolts off.
Thanks in advance!
