Yes mate, im pretty sure its a E.D downpipe, i bought it brand new from andyrg. Im after management at the moment, will be gen90 or adaptronic :)
 
glad youve got it running tom, gen 90's plug and play but hard to find one second hand so ends up expensive wheres the adaptronice is a little over 1200 suppiled fitted and mapped (well thats the price I was quoted) and thats what im going with

Loving the red boost bus :) subscribed. . If you have a meet count me in. .. what power are you going for?

Take the feed from the thermostat housing, its plenty adequate and far easier to route.

I wouldn't do this as you don't get the syphon effect when the engine is off. This is when you want the coolant to work as the oil will cool it when the engine is on.

Best place for me is from the heater matrix. If you have forge or samco hoses it is very easy as you take it from the bypass loop just before the heater matrix. If you have standard hoses then you'll need to tee in just before it.

Cheers, im just struggling too find the correct t peice from heater matrix size down too banjo size :/

Speak to Wayne (W33BRL) as he has just bought some fittings for this purpose or get some forge or samco hoses.

Myth busted, my turbo makes all sorts of slurping coolant noises when the engines shut off after a run, and you can witness coolant flowing back into the header tank as it should.

What you're seeing is expansion and air pushing coolant around not syphoning as you can syphon with an air gap at the top of the header tank. Laws of physics unfortuately.

Without arguing, it may well follow that thermodynamic law, however.... the coolant is moving yes? ergo cooling the turbo. fin!

It must be working, ive not baked the core yet?

Not starting an argument, maybe personal preference but I took advice from various sources including Turbo Dynamics so thought I'd pass on the research I did when I was doing my first conversion.

Agree the coolant is moving but the syphon effect will have less air flowing through the turbo so better heat extraction and for longer after the engine is switched off. Bearings would be the first things to be effected by insufficient cooling but this may not be apparent for some time.

Each to their own with regards to many things but just my thoughts on it to the OP and whoever else is planning a similar build.

Had the car running lovely, then told i need water cooling... Ive bought the banjos and fitted them but ive had the turbo in and off so many bloody times, trying too sort the return as ive turnt the core slightly for clearance of the banjos, cant access the 4 bolts, cant get the jubilees on return pipe, return sitting on down pipe ect!!!! Really trying me at the moment...

lmao, wait till you start driving it and the teething issues show their way though, it'll be testing your patience then!!

Just spent 2 hours laying under mine this evening pissing around on it, its second nature now lol

You need to do your homework. See the issues you are having, everyone else has had them before. Just ask for help and the answers will come.

Rant over lol, just had one if them days and then this adding too it!! My returns into my block, but the angle of my core send return towards downpipe before coming back too block. Core has too be were it is too allow the water banjos too fit... May have too re think return as im just using braided hose all the way. Any ideas??
