Yup its the 2 hoses on the driver side on the head that should supply the turbo with water.

I took a close look at Rado's car about a week ago and with the GT30 the top line fed in the back of the turbo and the botton line was fitted to the front of the turbo......if that matters.

Is that picture in the other thread not helpful? Not trying to be rude, just not sure what it is you are looking for thats not there. I don't know off the top of my head what size those fittings are going to be (im assuming you are asking about the fittings on the hose there, not the fittings on the turbo, correct?) but you should be able to tell pretty much by looking. Just get the same size hose and fittings, and run the hose like it shows in the other thread I linked to. Anyways, let us know what part it is you dont understand so we can help better

I don't know what TT uses, i have a ZPI kit myself.
No offense taken though, its not my pic Ok well unfortunately i dont really have a better picture, but I'll take a stab at explaining it real quick.


Basically if you see the hose that the picture points to, it is rubber on the drivers side, and metal on the passenger side, and it runs right behind the manifold.

What you are going to want to do its pull the rubber hose off the metal side of the line, and get another rubber hose from pep boys or whatever that is the same size (make sure it IS in fact heater hose that you pick up not a vacuum line or something, maybe 4ft of it to be safe) Pick up just a regular hose fitting that matches the rubber heater hose and some clamps (5) to match too.

Your just going to run a hose (using the fitting you bought and 3 of the clamps, I wouldnt reuse the stock one) from the rubber hose to the top water fitting on the turbo (or the inlet) and then using some more heater hose and the other 2 clamps run a line from the turbo outlet back to the metal side of the hose you pulled apart. thats really about it.

Anyways, hopefully someone else can help ya out with a picture, but hopefully i was of at least a bit of help
