coolant line confusion

[talonsway]

This is my first Turbo DSM so i dont know if this is normal or from the previous owner.

I have a coolant line that runs right in front of my manifold. I haven't been able to drive the car that much but i would like to not have it in front of the manifold. I don't know my options on changing this, so i turn to you guys. Any recommendations on how i can change this setup? any help is much appreciated!!

(i pulled the lines up so it would stand out more in the pictures)

The line runs from the first picture down to where the line is in the bottom picture?

Yes that is correct.

They're either for the Turbo Coolant Lines or the Oil Filter Housing, it's been awhile so I don'r remember. Your OEM turbo is going to have two oil lines (a feed and a drain) and two coolant lines (feed and drain), and the Oil Filter Housing (Where you literally screw the oil filter on) has a Oil cooler built into it that uses coolant. There should be two coolant lines running to and from the oil cooler.

There is supposed to be an OEM coolant hardline that goes behind the turbo which seems to be missing on your car.

I believe the coolant line your pointing at should go to the overflow tank..

The overflow hose is to the left of the rad cap in the picture.

yes i have that line going to my overflow tank. My overflow tank is actually where the stock battery was but its lower.

The line have running by my manifold what is it for ? Is it in the correct spot and i am just missing the stock hardline ?

You ever get this figured out? I can take a picture of my engine bay if it will help you get things organized correctly.

No I haven't figured it out yet. Some pictures of how yours is set up would do me a lot of help!

If it's as simple as missing the hardline, and the guy just ran a rubber line then I would just need to track it down!
