where does the coolant line go on the back of the water pump?
i'm working on putting a S4 engine into my S3 and was wondering where the small coolant nipple coming off the back of the water pump goes to? can i block it off? if so, what should i use to block off the unnecessary coolant passages?
thanks for the help.

In stock form it goes up to the TB. There is a coolant nipple on the rear iron that goes up to the TB, then another line comes down to return it to the water pump. Personally, I looped the rear iron nipple and water pump nipple together to keep the flow.

What dDuB said. There's another coolant nipple on the rear iron. Get a standard 90 degree coolant hose from your local parts store, and cut it to fit so the nipple on the rear iron connects to the nipple on the back of the water pump.

As for the coolant line size, measure the nipple? I just went to a parts store, found a 90 degree bend of the smallest size they had, and it fit.

Alright, then you just need a flat one, no pressure, those are fairly cheap I think, but can't remember the price.
Wow, from mazdatrix it's like 18 bucks, weird. Mazda prices suck.
