Posted 30/10/09 10:13 PM Share Posted 30/10/09 10:13 PM It may be posted somewhere but cant search the forums or interweb ATM due to being capped and every page taking ages to load....So I bought a second hand PWR Alloy Expansion Tank and went to install it. Noticed the alloy one had 3 little hoses and 1 big hose. The standard plastic one has 2 little hoses and 1 big one. So 3 into 4 does not go...what gives am I missing something simple here?

I have one and didnt use the line with the stock turbo. but I have a bigger turbo now so I need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 30/10/09 10:28 PM Author Share Posted 30/10/09 10:28 PM hmmm ok so the line just under the cap I presume is not needed. but Ive seen some photos with cars with standard turbos that use the line. So they must just run the line somewhere below and out of the engine bay just as a drain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
