WRX swap, RS radiator, which hose to use?
EDIT: NVM, after looking at the picture of the kinks, i realized i could trim the hose, and it worked.
New Question: What do I do about the coolant reservoir attached to the WRX engine? The way I have it set up now is The top of the RS radiator (the stock RS's overflow) goes to the WRX reservoir, and the WRX reservoir then feeds to the WRX radiators overflow line which I bolted to the RS radiator and into the overflow tank. Basically, what kind of cap can I put on the RS radiator to where it will act the same as the WRX radiator did with the coolant reservoir. OR, do I need to get rid of the coolant reservoir and run lines to the turbo and whatnot from the RS radiator.

I believe that you have to mod the RS cap. The kid I did the swap for took care of that, so I can't give you any details on it. As far as your line setup, it sounds right. Here's couple of reference pictures if it helps you:
Edit- As far as the radiator cap goes, heres a quote from SCC's Hybrid How-To: Quote:

your first set-up for the coolant lines is correct, and yes you either have to 1. mod the rs cap or 2. use a wrx radiator cap.

the WRX doesnt have a radiator cap, just the coolant tank cap. How do I remove the valve from the RS cap? this was exactly what I was thinking, so Im guessing I can just cut off the valve part of the cap, but would be nicer if there was a cleaner way to do that.
