Hmm. Any chance you have a picture of what it looks like assembled?

The two on the right I made for my Garrett turbo. The one on the far left is the stock one
I assume they are pretty much the same issues with the K27 ..
I also made, real adapter threaded fittings to use the stock pipe but you will still have to probably bend the pipe a little in order to get it aimed in the correct direction ( towards the Expansion Tank ...)
The fitting below is metric threaded ... so there is no issue with mating of threads

Ed - thanks! Question on the stock to middle picture.

Did you just lengthen the neck only or did you also modify the arms as well? Not 100% sure via the photo.

Also, what's that bottom picture? Not quiet following.

Hi Jeff
The Bottom picture is an adapter I made up. It allows one to move the coolant pipe away from the turbo ( so it can get over the cold side ) In addition ( for those with a Garrett like I have, the solution for most was to just use one of the compressor fittings ( but that's NPT not metric .. ) mine have the correct threads. I believe that you would still have to bend the pipe a little unless you went with a different hose ( which I guess wouldn't be a big deal )
I made them up before I did the latter, and extended the water pipe neck. That was the best solution for me ...
Reason: was I was having clearance issues with the upright intake manifold bracket ( that hold the forward part of the intake up )
Some, if not most just don't install that part, but I was overly ****, as usual and spent countless hrs learning how to bend and braze the pipe.

There is a great thread on this but I can't find the damn link !! ( i'll keep looking )
(btw Thanks to ibkevin, for without his help I probably would still be working on it ...
ibkevin did help me as well but I got my kevin's mixed up ...It was kevinnc that gave me the pipe and help to configure the pipe set up.

Crazy Eddie

To answer your question more completely ....
I did bend the arms a little but they are stock
I just extended the neck ...

The temp sensor for the turbo pump is strapped to the pipe.

I used the AN fittings, although a little different. I used an weldable AN fitting to attach the water neck to. It worked ,but it was very tight next to the TPS. I think Brian's option or having the tube brazed to lengthen would be easier.

There are a few images of it on the first and second page of this thread.

Here is the thread I was looking for
kevinnc did this on his water pipe, as well as Tom M'Guinn

Hope it helps

That is the route I would go, if I had access to someone who could weld like that. The attemp on mine was pitiful as the weld got on the banjo surface, and when it was smoothed off, it never sealed correctly.

Hey Steve
Actually the best way is to braze it .... It takes a little getting use to
I used a oxy mapp set up and it worked very well
Best regards

Brian - on your setup above...where's the Y fitting? I see how you took off the turbo housing but the other part is less than clear...

DrZ1

Took another image to show better. I like it, but it is soo tight, it make getting the boost pipe on kind of a PITA.

You need to have one fabricated where you can see what room you have when everything is installed. Looks great till you start putting everthing back.

I connected the hose coming off of the turbo fitting to a brass Tee like this:

I think I got this one at our local hardware store. Do not use the plastic ones, they break over time.
