Big single coolant return cap

[05chevy]

Hey guys I was wondering what everyone uses to cap off the return coolant line from the factory turbo. I had a rubber vacuum cap on for about and year and it has now cracked and started to leak. Just trying to get a better solution to my issue. Thanks

Weld it shut.

I got rid of the hard line and plugged the black pipe from the water pump to coolant crossover/bottom of T-stat.

i used an oil drain plug from a skidoo. there is a thread somewhere about them. most weld them

All season and ATS both have a delete plug that threads right in.

Hmm. sounds familiar. I think he's talking about the other one down by the pulleys.

I was using the one on left. It is from all season.

Middle is a cast one, and far right is a billet one from SDP.

Im talking about the steal line the comes up the front of the motor and runs along the top of the passanger side intake runner. Has a rubber 90* hose the hooks to another steal line and connects to the turbo. I will try and get a pic tomorrow

I know what your talking about. I think all seasons makes a coolant tube without that T. I put a little cap on mine as well. It is right behind the oil fill tube.

Pull the crossover tube from the thermostat housing to the water pump, weld the little tee shit that feeds the turbo coolant and put back together.

How about a hose and bolt with hose clamps? Cheapest easiest solution?

That's what I've always done because you may want to run a water cooled charger in the future. If you guys need the big 30mm plugs I can get them cheap.
