Driver side turbo installation

[mkemk3]

Does anyone see a problem with me relocating my coolant return line to the side of my CHRA? Seems that the plug can be moved. I think this will give me a better path for the line.

Those lines are so shitty to deal with. I'd like to find the ****** that designed this car and punch him in the nads....

Idk if that would work, it's probably at the high point for a reason, but I am not mechanic or engineer

I don't know what you mean but by god, I don't like that bottom silver crush washer. It's giving me the willies just looking at it...

What washer are you referring to?

[Zba]

Under the upper banjo. I just wouldn't want it to leak when you get that thing fired up. It doesn't match the copper washer on the top ie: larger OD. Larger OD usually means larger ID, larger ID means it won't seal.

Not saying that's the way it is, maybe you are 100% sure but I thought I'd bring to your attention as a courtesy.

There is in fact a copper washer under there. Thanks though, the angle that I took the pic you can't see it.

Any veterans want to weigh in?

Never done it myself, but dont see why it wouldnt work if you want to customize the lines.
Tials are on the sides like that.

My thoughts exactly. Asked a few friends and they thought the orientation would matter. Made me second guess it.

I have never seen any reason to mod the lines and do it like that, and Ive done a few
The ports look like they end up in the same exact area in the chra so I dont see why it would be a prob if you really want to.
