Default Water in turbo pipes?!

My rst has been sitting around for 2 years now. when i rev it up and it dumps, water sprays out of the dump valve. will this clear after a good run or does something need drying out? cheers

i'd say condensation, if it doesn't clear up after a run i'd be inspecting the turbo for a cracked water jacket, depends how much water is there really.
