QUESTIONS WITH PICTURES:
1.) IN THIS PICTURE WHICH DO I USE AS A COOLANT RETURN/ FEED?
2.) DOES THIS PICTURE LOOK CORRECT? I FIGURED THE RETURN IS OBV, I FIGURED THE OIL FEED PORT ON THE TURBO (SHOWN BLUE) IS THREADED, WHICH WOULD CONNECT TO THE -4AN LINE. THE WATER LINES ARE NEXT TO EACHOTHER AND BOTH HAVE A BARB FITTING COMMING OFF THE TURBO, SO I FIGURED THOSE WERE THE WATER LINES. (ONE BLUE AND THE OTHER SILVER). WHAT COOLANT PORT IS FEED/RETURN?.

doesnt matter. i just took the line furthes from the hand with the t in it and took it from there to the turbo, then back from the turbo to where it was supposed to go in the first place...

That thing on top, with some red paint on it....that's not a water line i don't think. Where is that connecting to, right into the side of the head? I dun think so, that's where the oil should be connecting, so this guy has a slightly different feed method, but it doesn't look like it's hooked up.

the one on top is the oil feed and the return is on the opposite side. the water line is the larger one, and its other is on its opposite side.
this person was using some other mehtod for the oil feed by using a compression union and idk what else.

Ok, hmm im just trying to make sure i do not meass this up. so this picture looks right?
But then why is the blue one on the top threaded? Do i need to switch around the silver and blue connections, so the silver one is where the blue one is now?? Because it looks like the silver connection is a barb, and ther blue one is threaded for the -4an oil feed fitting.. so you can see where im confused here...
Also, as for the feed line connecting to the sandwich adapter plate, has anyone done this before? Did anyone note the size it needs for connecting the -4an to the sandwich plate?

Cool! So ill just switch those connections around then so the silver barb one is where the blue one is now! Question for the feed line connecting to the sandwich adapter plate, has anyone done this before? Did anyone note the size it needs for connecting the -4an to the sandwich plate? I did a little bit of research and found out that my prosport oil sandwich adapter plate uses 1/8NPT thread for the oil pressure sender. So in theory all i need is a 1/8NPT connecter to the -4AN oil feed line??
**Got my auto trans cooler in today!, do i just un-plug the two hoses from my trans that go into the bottom of my radiator, and just plug those hoses into the ATM cooler? Or should i keep those lines connected to the radiator and then run it to the ATM cooler? Any mounting ideas??
Something like that?
