I'm in the middle of installing my kokeln dry turbo on my car and I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with the old coolant plumbing! (the turbo I'm installing is an oil cooled turbo only)

I've bought an "dry turbo install kit" from lindsey, but I'm clueless what to do with the stuff I recieved!? There's a picture of the hose bellow.. Where should I connect it? I guess it's supposed to go in between some of the places I've pointed out with green arrows bellow? Can anyone guide me with the dry turbo install? Am I supposed to install the turbo coolant pump for an example?

ok, the old turbo thermostat housing comes off and the new one goes on, which is not drilled - water is capped there.

Pull out the aux turbo cooling water pump, pull that damn water pipe across the front. The new hose will go FROM the left side of the radiator(look at the water pipe hose down there) over to the bottom opening of the expansion tank. The upper opening on the expansion tank will have to be capped or you will have to get an NA expansion tank. Pics below of track car setup, Kokeln V.



The other hose are to the J pipe and the intercooler pipe to the throttle body.

Wow great reply with pictures and all! Thank you!!

Your welcome. I recommend getting a new NA expansion tank, looks great and you don't have to worry about that capped fitting leaking. They're about $76US new and you can sell your(looks fairly new) to help cover the cost.

Oh they're that cheap? Makes no sense to look for a used one then!

What color is your car? It looks like a metallic orange/copper or is that just the light?

Jim,

What color is your car? Do you have any more pictures? The picture in your avatar is pretty sweet - especially with those rims.

The car is a regular "indisch rot" - it's the fluorescent lights in the garage makes it look weird

Here's another question about the dry turbo install! What should I do with the connection to the temperature switch on the old turbo coolant stuff and the cable to the turbo water pump? Can I just keep them hanging unplugged?

Yes
