coolant to throttle body question.NEED HELP

[mitsubluetalon]

does anybody have a picture or can explain which coolant tube goes where on the turbo throttle body. there is supposed to be one coming off the thermostat housing to the throttle body and another from the water pump tube to the throttle body.........does any body have a pic of this so i can be sure i've got them going the right way?

also i would like to know just to be sure on the front of the thermostat housing there are two metal tubes, one is higher than the other, and one goes to the turbo, and the other goes to the oil pump area..... i am putting my car together with a steel braided tubing upgrade and i just want to be absolutely sure that these tubes are going to the right place. thank you for any information.....

Jason.

The upper tube goes to the thermostate housing and the bottom tube goes to the water pipe.

The upper hose goes to coolant reservoir and the lower hose goes to the back banjo of the turbo, the front banjo of the turbo routes back to water pipe right where the compressor housing is.

hate to revive an old thread but I'm not clear on which line goes to the water pipe and comes out of the head. Can someone with a 1g help me out

I have a 2g with a 1g TB and there is a curved coolant tube and a straight coolant tube coming from the TB which gets the hot coolant from the waterpump and which goes back to the water pipe.

steves post pretty much sums up which coolent lines go where. so....i would read over that if i were you

I understand his post but I'm trying to figure out if the higher one is closer to the TB elbow or if thats the lower one. They look to be level to me.


EDIT: Got it! Curved pipe closest to the TB goes to the water pipe, Straight pipe closest to the TB elbow goes to the t-stat housing.
