I installed the coolant lines by removong the short hose from the coolant bleed valve to the throttle body and attaching the two hoses to these points.


Black hoses from turbo.

The hoses are a loose fit on the fitting but I got a seal by tightening the clamps down hard. Not ideal, but it is holding nicely.

Today I was reading about flushing coolant and noticed the line to the oil cooler. I wonder if this is a better point? It would certainly look cleaner. I wonder if it would fit better.

 

I was going to route my water lines from there originally but then I realized it probably wont flow enough through the turbo so I took mine from the smaller diameter TB lines.

 

what the hell is that pipe that looks like a monkey bar?

 

That is a monkey bar

I trust you mean the unpolished pipe from the BOV to the intake tube. It's simply the bypass pipe. The idea is to keep the BOV noise down. ALso, being a closed system it is closer to legal. I will eventually have all the engineering checks done so it is fully certified.

 

So that won't work? That sucks cause that's what I was planning since I have to replace that piece of 1/2" hose anyway...slipped with a razor knife
