    WTB: OEM TI turbo coolant return tube

    I'm in need of a turbo coolant return tube for a Garrett turbo on an '85 Turbo I motor. This is the last little thing I need to finish this thing finally!

    I have the part of the return tube that screws into the thermostat housing and goes around the head, but am missing the part of the tube that threads into the large brass elbow on the turbo center section. Turns out that when I removed the old one, it was stuck and twisted the tube up and snapped.

    Somebody's gotta have one of these lying around with all the people going with aftermarket turbo oil/coolant lines.

    EDIT: I'm thinking the tube from a Turbo II application should be the same, but I can't say for sure.

    I think I may have one. Will have to get to my storage to dig it out.

    Will let you know,

    Sure about this? I seem to recall log manifold coolant return line is different than 1 and 2 piece blow thru line. Front half is the same, but rear half bends around turbo outlet/manifold inlet oddly on the early log manifolds. Jeremy, if Chris doesn't have one, I'm sure I do.

    Re: WTB: OEM TI turbo coolant return tube

    I found the broken TI coolant return tube. It appears as though it exits the turbo center section on the firewall side, then snakes up in between the compressor outlet and head and then attaches to the other half of the return tube with 1/2" hose.

    I think the TII is different in that it goes around the outside of the compressor housing instead. I don't have an OEM TII tube to compare to, but yeah, I think they are different after finding the broken TI tube I have. Thanks for the clarification Todd.

    The TI and TII coolant lines are different.

    Take a look at the '86 GLHS Unique parts list here to confirm: http://www.shelbyregistry.com/1986glhsupl.html

    Second item down is cylinder head to turbo coolant tube. If TI and TII were the same for Garrett turbos why would they need to have a unique TII part # for it?

    Jeremy, I found a couple of them but they are in bad shape. Will keep looking.

    Found a NOS coolant return tube, so I am no longer in need of one. Thanks for hooking me up Todd.
