Yet Another 2.0 Turbo Coolant Routing Thread

[lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars]

There are so many diagrams out there for this conversion due to the different parts used and preferences. I have drawn this one up, how does it look? I will be using the BBM turbo expansion hose and an air-oil cooler:

Ideally you want the turbo to go to the top hose not the thermostat housing as it will cause the head to heat up more than it already gets, queue experts saying this wont make any difference, this was how it was designed originally

The first pic is for a manul box with the heat exchanger hose built into the top hose, the second picture is for an autobox which has different piping for the heat exchanger, this is the top hose i have on my car. you can see the turbo pipe feeding to the top hose on both of them.

 

Stew baker needs to make this top hose without the heat exchanger connections and the top rad hose facing the right way, imo it would be a good seller as its the hardest part of the turbo conversion to overcome if you dont have the original pipes to bodge, ive cut mine off and joined it 180 degrees
