Hi, picked up a non running project and am wondering if I am missing the coolant drain line off the turbos.

thanks for taking a look.

You're missing more than that. Those turbos are going to have to come off

OK, some of it I uninstalled, Air pump, airbox etc, but saw some things not connected behind the air pump.

Do you mind giving me a short list of what you think is missing? I can handle taking the turbos off if you are certain they need to come off.

Thanks,
Chris

Coolant hose is definitely missing.
Unsure what else FDAuto noticed but am curious now

I think both the turbo coolant hard pipes (and their soft lines) look to be missing, plus the little 10mm nut that holds on the primary compressor intake pipe. That blue connector on the wiring harness appears to be unplugged, but I don't remember where that should connect.

You're missing the rubber coolant hose and the hard pipe that distributed the coolant to front and rear turbo.

Maybe a little late to the party, but I just happened to snap a picture of that exact area of my car while diagnosing another issue. For reference.

@obeeone420 careful using that OE constant tension spring clamp with silicon hoses. Silicone hoses are generally smaller in diameter so the clamp might not be clamping with sufficient tension. Ran into that problem once. I switched to Breeze Constant Torque clamps to fix that problem.

I generally prefer OE hoses and clamps for this and other reasons (longevity, price etc)

Keep an eye on your coolant levels and maybe do a coolant system pressure test to check for any leaks.

Thanks gracer7, I'll keep an eye on that. I actually ordered a couple of different size spring clamps to fit since the original hose I took off had a worm gear clamp that was digging into the hose causing a leak. However, I don't like the way the silicone hose was molded as I couldn't even reinstall the stock airbox because of the shallow bend so I'll probably just go back to a stock hose when I put my new radiator in.
