Default Help me run these water lines.

Alright, im gonna make this thread for whoever wants to install their own turbonetics turbo water lines.

THis is not a DIY guide but more like a reference.

My first question is these 4 T fittings came in the kit. 2 big and 2 small. Am i supposed to use all 4 or am i just using the 2 that best fits the hoses im cutting.






another thing. these water lines in the kit are long as hell. Which hoses should i T.

and yes, im following instructions sent to me but they are a little confusing.

Plug those in your pee hole and strain real hard while the car is driving. Water cooled.

Yes, but at least I fixed it without making a thread dedicated to the subject.

its easy there is a hose going in to your fire wall right behind the drivers side vavle cover and jus the same on the passenger side unclamp those hoses put the two larger fittings in there and use the supplied rubber hose cut it in half slide in on the other side of the t then slide it back onto the hookup coming out of your fire wall,then run the water lines to the turbo should take an hour at the most

The only reason i made the thread was so people that are in my situation know what to do. I could have easily called the tech line at TN or called sharif.

Information cant hurt but lack of info can

You could always just run the water lines to the throttle body... a lot easier then tapping into the water lines located behind the motor.

Oh good one.... says the guy that makes a thread on how to simply tap water lines, and can't figure out when to weld a broken part. You also failed at lying to a manufacturer when trying to defraud them out of free parts. You're the one to talk.

With that I'll stop bumping this waste of a thread.
