Turbo coolant line after vvt removal

[LbzDMax07]

Installing my hsp s400 kit. I have the oil lines figured out but what about the coolant line. Kit came with a large plug for the coolant crossover i think its called. What about the return part of it? Should i have a plug for it or what?

What I've done on the couple I've installed them on is a cap over the line at the water pump pipe.

Ok. That looks simple enough

who makes the plug for the fitting on the radiator cross over? or did you just plug it as well?

This directed at me or ?

Which line are you asking about? The upper rad hose line?
If that's the one your asking about I think we got the last one from merchant when we pieced a kit together

simpliest method, and one I did first was just run a loop of hose in place of the lines that went to the stock charger.

IMHO, and the "most correct" way is what I have now- fleece billet plug for the thermostat housing.upper hose and I removed that pipe in the pic above, and cut off the turbo coolant line and welded it up

fleece billet plug for the t stat housing was what I was talking about..


directed at anyone..

Stuck a bolt in the hose with a hose clamp.
