Resolved turbo coolant return line

[dsmxfan]

so i bought the return line from extreme psi, but im confused on what to do from here. isn't there supposed to be a line coming off the block to connect the return line too? if so where can i find this part.

The supply comes from the water pipe and the return goes to a fitting on the block. This is only true if you are running a 2g 7 bolt.

you mean the banjo bolt connection behind the turbo on the block? I'm surprised the kit from extreme didnt have all that. What did they give you, a hose? . Well, i just switched to a big PTE turbo so im probably getting rid of mine. Problem is, its at the machinist and i dont have it now. I can pm you when i get it back if youd like.

Yes, the banjo fitting behind the turbo.

Well im sure you could find a banjo bolt or very short barbed 90 degree fitting to do the job. It doesnt have to be exactly stock to work. It just has to hold whatever pressure the cooling system operates at: no more than 15 or 17 lbs if i remember right.

That's interesting, considering Mitsubishi calls the line from the block at the turbo the feed and the line at the turbo to the water pipe the return.

Here's the part numbers for the OEM joint at the block: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/385767-2g-block-coolant-line.html.
