Help with 6AT single turbo

White330 · 06-27-2018, 12:15 PM

I tried searching around but couldn't find any information. I'm finishing up with my single turbo install and noticed that my new water pipe doesn't have an outlet for the bypass hose. I could just drill and tap a tee into it, but I feel like there should be a better way. Any recommendations? (other than tranny swap lol)

Outlet by pass hose? I'm not sure what are your talking about. If you are thinking of the AT return line then you can tap a T into the heater core return line. 5/8 T is what fits. I think.

Yeah I wasn’t sure what it was called but I saw somebody referring to it as the bypass hose. It’s the hose that splits off from the water pipe and connects to the bottom right of the radiator.

I got a doc race kit for a manual and I'm a auto. We cut the original nipple off the factory pipe and welded it on. Works great

Yeah this looks like the route I’m going to be taking.

I have so many bad things to say, but for now I’ll keep them to myself. I think welding something on is probably the best idea.
