water lines

Postby themaleman » Thu Aug 25, 2011 6:30 pm

Im reviewing my turbo setup to get my car back on the road. just wondering if the water lines for the turbo are correct.

there t'd into the throttle body lines. one comes from a big pipe on the back of the block and the other a not so big pipe on the back of the block. (thats where they go from factory)

Im wondering if i need to know which one is the inlet and make sure that line is going to the correct feed on the turbo?

or evan cut one of the lines and put the turbo inbetween? (instead of using 2 t peices)

hers a detailed diagram of how its set up at the moment

Doesn't really matter for the amount of cooling the coolant lines actually do tbh.

Heater pipes.
Using throttle body pipes lead to vapour locks in the throttle body which leads to unstable idle.
