Turner coolant reservoir relocation kit fitment issues
Hey guys I was working on installing a Turner relocation kit on my car last night and ran in to some fitment issues. Just wondering if anyone else has installed one of these and had similar issues. Mine did not come with "instructions" but I looked on YouTube and saw a video on a similar car.
So where it ask to cut the existing coolant line that comes from the front of the thermostat and goes up to bottom of stock bottle, if I were to cut that as intended the new line to be installed would but pointing toward the rear of the car instead of coming to the front and running to driver side, it would have to do a 180 and come forward, also where the new relocated tank would be my power steering lines would be hitting the intercooler piping directly. I couldn't find much info on these but my only guess is that it wasn't really designed for a car with an upgraded bottom mount turbo or upgraded piping. Has anyone installed one of these before and had success with it? The tank looks great and I really would like to get an air filter on the car so I'm hoping I can get it to work somehow. Thanks! |

Plug off the thermostat side with a silicone coolant plug cap or if you want a cleaner look you can use the bmw x5 coolant hose which is part number 17127576371 and then on the driver side for the turner tank you can use a tee or Y barb and splice into either coolant hose going into the firewall. It’s been done on a few n55s including myself for some us that have relocated our intake to the passenger side. Look up n55 hot side intake on google, there’s a whole thread dedicated to this
