Hello everyone i just recently picked up an SR20DET for a swap into my s13 240sx now the engine has been fitted with a disco potato turbo on an aftermarket exhaust manifold. I am just having trouble figuring out what this one line is coming off of the turbo i know that 1 of the lines is for coolant and the other one is for oil but i can't figure out what this remaining line is, if its just a drain or what is it?? If someone could please help me out the pictures of the turbo are below. Thanks for any and all information.

In this picture it would be the line coming out to the right:

In this picture it would be the line facing the camera:

The line in question is a coolant line.

Oil always goes top to bottom, and coolant goes front to back.

Thanx for the help in identifying that it is a coolant line. Although does anyone know where exactly it is supposed to be attached to?

remove the transmission crossmember so that the motor sags in the back,

it will dip enough to reach the water line.

EDIT:: another member told me he did it with the motor in and had no trouble.

I have some lines coming in the mail, when I do mine ill let you know
