radiator woes
I'm finishing up my turbo engine swap (finally) and have come down to plumbing. the coolant return line( I think) from the turbo looks like it's supposed to go to the top left corner of the radiator. I have a NA radiator. Is there a way to pop that little cap off and put a bung there to hook it up, or a way to retro-fit the line there? I'm just trying to avoid buying a new radiator.

I think this has been said before...the NA radiator is not adequate for cooling a turbo engine. I'd suggest getting one off a banged up legacy turbo or buying one off a member here on the board.

The turbo radiator won't fit in the n/a's radiator support. Too tall.
You should be able to get some fitting to put in the bleed screw position to run that line to the resevoir.
If I find that cooling using the n/a radiator is not enough, I'm going to see if I can find a dual row radiator with the same dimensions.
