Yeah its still flexible, I check them every down and then but I do have bonnet vents which keep the temps down.

Been trying to find the factory coolant lines but can't plus not sure how the would go on anyway lol

If you can't get hold of a stock hard line you could make a hard line fairly easily if you have a pipe flaring tool and the other tools/parts you need.

 

I can take some pics for you sometime if you want to see how all the stock stuff looks.

Ok I took a few pics from the turbo to where it attaches over the other side under the thermostat housing. I'll post them in order and the last one is looking from the back of the car to the front.

Ok thanks man,

Looks like ill need to change the steel pipe under the thermostat housing since mine doesn't have a barb for the coolant feed. Where does the return go too?

Haha I knew I should have taken those pics. Brb.

 

Ok so you can see that it runs straight down and around the front of the turbo ust under the intake and terminates in a pipe under the ps pump.

All good man. I know all about putting off annoying little jobs. The only problem is they add up and turn into annoying big jobs.

 

Are you any good at brazing? You could make it work with some bits and pieces.

Na I have no idea about brazing. I could get some steel piping made up to go where my rubber hoses are and get banjo fittings put on for the turbo ends. I think I've found out the bolt sizes for the banjo, m14x1.5
