[s-cars] How hard is it to replace the turbo coolant return line, any BTDT?

[Theodore Chen]

chris, i had to remove this line when i did my turbo swap.  the 034 kit replaces this line with a braided steel hose to the turbo.  i actually ended up putting the stock line back, and attaching the braided steel hose to the end of the hardline after it went through the timing cover.

it's not too hard to work on this line, if you disconnect it at the banjo.  a stubby gearwrench (a ratcheting combination wrench) will make things significantly easier.

Gentz,

I searched and found mention of others replacing
the line that is leaking on my car, appears to be
the turbo coolant return line.

However I haven't found any hints or descriptions on
how long this might take.

Does the intake manifold have to come off or 
can it be accessed by removing the various
bits around it?

Sounds like it's a 1/2 ID hose, is this correct?

I need to repair this today/tonight as I have
to drive it to Toledo tomorrow.

Thanks
Chris

Make April 15th just another day http://www.fairtax.org
