Default Turbo cooling line from 968 Expansion Tank

I'm inclined to using a bulkhead fitting to make this connection.

If you have converted your 968, what did you do to get coolant to the Turbo?

I thought so as well.

Read another thread that indicated a difference in mounting tabs between the 951 and 968 tanks. Different part numbers - additional penetration for the turbo on the 951 tank. Looking at the images in the PET, I cannot confirm the mounting tabs are different.

It's a bit challenging to mount. You'll be doin some significant surgery for this mod. Cut the tabs to mount it on the 951, cut the tabs on the 968 top one, epoxy the 968 ones on the 951. Then use a guide like PET to route/plumb it.

Decide if you want to run the factory water pump, as well. For me, it didn't make as much sense presently... It's not so hot here, and modern synthetic oils make this less of a concern, in my book. Or that's an over justification for my laziness in wanting to sort all the electrical bits.

Does a 968 Turbo S or Turbo RS tank exist?

I'm sure it did - at one time. Likely NLA, or if available $$$$.
