I have the plenum off right now, im painting the valve covers / plenum and putting a new gasket on the intake and changing hoses and all that ****.

Ive been looking at the coolant bypass write ups on tt.net (maybe dallas tts as well) and even the australian board and nico and honestly, i just dont get it.

I understand that im basically removing all of the hoses from underneath the plenum and thats fine, i understand that, but what am i doing to "loop" vertain hoses together or capping off certain areas?

I know ill get the typical "search its there" response from some people, but thats not the answer im looking for. Searching for a bypass brings up every single bypass you can do or thats been recommended.

If anyone can help me out, it would be very much appreciated.

Removing the plenum only takes me about a half hour - 45 minutes at this point but If I can simplify my engine more then i already have, awesome.

From what I understand the coolant from the back of the motor, to the TB, then to the turbo, so you are just running a hose from the pipe at the back of the motor strait to the turbo. (at least thats how I did it.)

 

Well yeah, but, i have an NA and most of the info I found is for the TT.

This is what i did. It looks right to me, the red is where the new hoses will hook up. (one hose already is hooked up)
