can you remove the turbo coolent line.

i went to a shop to see how much it was to get braided lines made and the guy said i can just plug the hole on the block with a bolt and it would be fine. is that possible??

No dont do that, unless you like to seize up parts. That turbo needs to be water coolled.

Buy the circuit sports S/S braided lines, they fit right on.

Braided coolant line are for looks. You can go to any car parts store and get steel line if you don't want to run rubber hose. There is reason the coolant runs through there.

Actually Stainless steel braided lines are not just for looks. They offer an easier way to install/remove your turbo lines.....Steel lines (OEM) bend and kink too easily...whereas stainless steel braided lines are flexible and do not kink, they also offer good protection as well. Worth the money IMO.

go to positron's sr20 prep thread he shows the installation from multiple angles.

Also go ahead and punch your shop guy in the face.

turbos that are designed to be watercooled should always be watercooled

Judging by the other posts/threads you've made, I don't think you should be working on cars. Like seriously. You're gonna put yourself or someone else in danger.

Unless you're just trying to be funny.....not cool.

You have a na block. I know because my motor was pieced together using a n/a block and the coolant hole was never tapped in. It's possible to run your turbo without the coolant hooked up, but you'll either need a turbo timer or you'll have to sit in your car for a few minutes after you drive.
