Anyone have pics of the Inline Setup? Like to see the differences visually.

Thanks B_real for your pics.

I am real skeptical when it comes to using T-s to feed a turbo doesn't seem like it will function as it was intended with a direct line in and out.

I'm not sure why that would be an issue. The system is a closed loop operated by pressure.

I've had this setup for 15k miles now and it's been just fine. My turbo stays cool and I don't use a turbo-timer.

15K here as well, im sure the T setup is fine.. i just want to see if it would make some difference.. Breal used the big coolant lines but on mine i used the skinny TB coolant lines which probably doesnt flow enough coolant as the big ones.. and i think inline keeps coolant flowing better than the T setup with more traffic on the circuit

I got my plugs as well, looks like it was 1/2 or 5/8". Now I need to get some line to match it. Was considering a t instead of straight through because the opening is a lot smaller than the heater core line and don't want to starve it. Also, a threaded t-tap would be great.
