Can anyone tell me how to hook up coolant lines?
Im installing a sts remote style turbo system on my 2002 ford ranger edge.( 3.0 v-6 auto 4x4) i got a garrett T3/4 i got off ebay. the thing has some funky flanges. ive never seen a turbine housing like this before, i think its a chrysler turbo. ill post some pics later when i figure out how,but any way let me get back on topic. I know i dont have to use the water lines but i realy want this turbo to last, and to be as dependable as possible. Would one way to run water lines to the turbo, be to splice the coolant hose on the outlet side of the water pump to the turbo, the from the turbo to the hose before the radiator? I realy dont know?? anyone got any ideas

1. There is a coolant line located going from your head to your intake manifold, rip it off.
2. buy a lengthy pieace of coolant hose.
3. Cut the coolant hose in half, run one half from the turbo all the way to the head.
4. Now take the other half of the coolant hose and run it from the other side of the turbo to the intake manifold.
5. your done.
