2 options i know of are the coolant lines to the throttlebody or the h20 adapters from yahnoza
Examine your setup closely. I had difficulty finding a combination of fittings which would fit without hitting adjacent areas. It took three tries before I found a combination which worked. Hopefully your setup will be easier.Tuner said:Ok, i will go with this one.

It looks like the best way to do it. And the easiest![]()
I do have another question: should I go with the banjo connections
or 90 degree swivel's, what do you think, wich is best?
I have examined my setup, (gti-r mani./T28) and I think the banjo's are ok.lshadoff said:Examine your setup closely.

Yes this is how I've always done it, but I guess the argument here is that water is not always flowing in to these lines, is that correct Lew? I have not studied the coolant flow of the motor, maybe it's time to crack open the FSM tonight and check it out.97SE-R C2 said:I think is much easier to plumb it from the throttle body but thats just me.

I did not connect to the throttle body hoses because they have a thermostatic switch in the line that opens only when the coolant is hot. I wanted water flowing through as soon as the engine started.Whitelightening said:are the heater lines you are talking about is no the same lines as the ones to the throttle body are they.if not where are the heater lines you used
Yes I can see it clearly. I guess this is not to much of an issue for me. I just want water to flow through the turbo when I am on the road course! Thanks for letting us know about the thermostatic switch though, I had no idea this existed in our engines!lshadoff said:I did not connect to the throttle body hoses because they have a thermostatic switch in the line that opens only when the coolant is hot.

You can sort of see the heater hose connections in my original water line page:
