Best way dude, get stuck in, scuff your knuckles, lie to the wife and step back and admire your work. Then get someone to do it properly Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Is the split in the hose not to allow a t-piece in for the turbo cooliant line? Seem to remember on mine I have to t-into that hose when fitting a water cooled GT35.

It T's off from the the coolant bottle (see pic),the bottom one where the split is should be the same. I just got a double ended hose connector,job done! :)

Ha ha,no probs two bigger ones are for brake servo and isv,,small one is to fuel pressure reg vacume..

Any more pics of what you've done so far ? Have you had to move the brake reservoir for the turbo inlet?

Thanks. Im going to work on her some more tomorrow,will put some more pics on then.

No the brake reservoir is still in place which is good,tight but all fits! :)

Yes that's the intake temp ,take the sensor out of your vr manifold and there is a threaded hole for it under the short runner..

Hope that makes sense?

Ya it does,was just wondering if its needed and if it would make a difference by plugging it in or not?...

Without it plugged in the ECU defaults to an inlet temperature of 20 degrees I think. Mine had an issue recently and the car would stall on start up when warm. I'm guessing the OP will be using an aftermarket engine management ecu, and this probably takes a reading from this sensor too.

 

I have read on some forums the sensor is better located near the air box (or air inlet) to get a truer indication of intake temperatures, as the temps in the inlet manifold may suffer from heat soak.

That T piece for the coolant line is a cool touch. Not long now :) what software are you running?
