Removing coolant reservoir for turbo...

Joey_WRX · 12-18-2005, 02:30 PM

i just switched over to a GT32 and no longer need the coolant reservoir for the turbo. I figured I can just loop the feed and return hose from the radiator back into each other, but what about the two lines that run to the head? Anyone have to do this before and know what needs to be done to eliminate this reservoir? TIA.

That upper tank also feeds your overflow tank. I might be easier to leave it and just bypass the turbo.

it would just be a lot easier for me to remove it all together because im wanting to route an intercooler pipe through there. i was thinking i could just run the two that feed the head back into each other, run the feed and return to the radiator into each other and id be good.
