I have just removed my turbos and noticed that I may have twisted the coolant lines when untorquing them. The coolant line that runs from the centre of the vehicle and attaches to the y-coolant line on the turbos has about a 45 degree twist in it <- This is not supposed to be there right?(I know its a stupid question, but I dont remember twisting it myself).

More importantly, the coolant line on the turbos is easy to replace... but what about the coolant line that runs inboard?!?! It looks like I will have to remove a bunch of vac hoses, and other stuff... maybe including the alternator to get at it... Has anyone ever done this?!?!? Please let me know what is involved...

Thanks alot!

The other end is a bango bolt in front of the black plastic oil fill thing. Turn the radio up and get started typing and reading will not get it done . Not hard but time will be spent. Another tube is brazed to it and will come out with it. It is a breather tube from the front turbo air intake elbow to the black plastic oil fill thing. Eat some ice cream before you start, that will help. now hurry, some girl wants to ride.

The metal line is for oil ,not water if I read you correctly.

Not oil lines... coolant/water line. There is one line that runs across the turbos that goes in a T. At the 'T' it connects to another line(not on the turbos) that must go into the block or from the rad.

OK the two rubber water lines are not that hard to redo. Remove the top intake tubes and the air pump . the rubber hoses are both down there . Both are short and not to hard to get to .
