coolant lines, I need backup.
 

I was wondering where you can get adapters for coolant lines, I went to pep boys and advanced but neither had what I needed. The lines coming off the block are 5/16 and I think the t-25 lines are 1/2". Or is there any easy way like just buying the big line and clamping them down real good. Thanks ahead.

In my own personal experience. try and stay clear of the hose clamps and line idea for the coolant lines. I did this and had nothing but leaks and problems. The hose clams kept coming loose and the lines would get soft and eventually leak etc. I ended up just pulling them off and running it as an oil cooled turbo. Coolant was just more trouble than it's worth in my case.
But, your best bet IMO would be to either find the right fittings and lines (I thought they were banjo fittings... maybe that was oil on those T25's). Or, make them out of compression fittings and steel hardline (brake line). I also attempted this and it came out great except that the turbo is too close to my block and radiator to fit them in.
Just a few ideas to help get you rolling ;)

i made my own reducers. go to homedepot where the brass fittings are and you can buy the correct nipple fittings and couplers to screw the two different sized fittings together. don't forget the teflon tape and tighten the piss out of them.

you can see them and the coolant lines running between the fuel rail and valvecover.
