so i know the water ports are M14x1.5 but what is everyone doing?Banjo with Banjo Bolt ,Alloy metric to AN or S/S metric to AN then to hard line?also what size,AN6?
cheers.1st water cooled bearing housing and dont want to get it wrong.cheers

I used 3/8" stainless hard lines. Flared the ends to 37 degrees and used AN6 tube nuts & sleeves. The hard lines are ~ 6" long each, and I used a tubing bender to locate the end of each hard line near the water nipples on the water pump housing. Then I just used a short 3/8" rubber hose elbow to connect the two. Looks really clean, and it's easy to connect/disconnect. Plus, the only part of the circuit that's close to the hot turbine housing is the hardline, so no melting concerns.

On my previous car, I used AN6 braided hose and hose ends, then used an AN6 to hose barb adapter and a short length of rubber hose to connect to the nipples on the water pump housing. It worked... but it didn't look very clean.

cool as.have gone with hardlines.

I'm changing the single turbo put on by the previous owner for an EFR 7670. I've come to the conclusion I'll need hard lines too.

Where are you taking the feed from and return to?

I have one of these that I'm planning on using once I get my manifold:

Banjo 14mm Water Feed Fitting -6AN 17 degree- TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE

it should mitigate any space concerns on the manifold side of the turbo

the outer one is just a -6AN fitting to a 90* -6AN hose end

was going to post that link aswell. I run aeroflow fittings and they don't do a banjo with the slight offset in it like these guys. I don't have and space constraints so went with s/s metric to AN adapter then into hardline with flared collars and nuts.
