that looks like the coolant line to the turbo..its hard to tell. and that black box is the catch can.

simply follow the line and figure out where it leads. its not that hard.

the line you highlighted green is indeed a coolant line for the turbo. the black catch can is routed onto a fitting on the block directly under it.

The line you have highlighted is the turbo coolant feed line. DO NOT route that to the black box. The black box is the stock oil catch can, and should be connected to the "T" fitting on the valve cover, and the crankcase breather at the back of the engine below the exhaust manifold.

there's a hard line coming off the side of your turbo that is routed towards the back of the motor. the hose from the coolant branch (circled in green in your first pic) connects to that hard line.

And from the looks of the first pic, I think you have them routed correctly, but I can't see over the marks you made in Photoshop

EDIT: found a good pic for you. from SCC's swap article.

if you look you can see the hard line leaving the hose and then bending down and towards the turbo.

the coolant line that we're talking about off the turbo is the one on the back side of the central housing. there should be a hard line that comes to the backside of the motor.

If it goes into the top of the turbo its Oil feed. If it goes int he side it coolant return/feed.

The side ports are coolant feed and return. There is a hard line that runs fromt he back of the motor which you circled in the first pics and runs to the side of the turbo then it feed out the other side back into the block through another hard line. The Oil feed through the top hard line and returns out the bottom hardline.

There is that clear enough?

ok thanx that was super clear the only other question i have is- from the last pic i just put up the thing that i curcled in orange is were my coolint line suppost to go right????

Because i have 2 one on each side with (as u can see) nothing there.

if that is where my coolint line runs to how does it go - is the one in the outside (facing the engine bay) running back to my block and the one thats in the inside (facing the motor) thats were the coolint line coming from the back runs to.

or im i wrong????

Find the FSm and it should have a pic of the turbo line setups?
