I looked up that aluminum coolant reservoir on eBay found one similar to yours but it didn't have the bracket welded on it.

What did the car decide to do?
Punch a hole in the radiator with the turbo of course LOL. Sitting there looking all smug like HAH I get my half radiator now right?! ^_^
-___-
How did it manage that? Just by natural movement of the motor? Well I guess on the bright side you have the rad on its way.
It was sitting pretty close with the old radiator and the new bigger turbo but never hit it. I pulled the radiator from a 2003 galant 4g64 and it was a slightly thicker core. it was touching. So I hit boost and the turbo let the radiator have it. LOL I guess mitsu upped the core size just a tad on the 2003's. Ah well half radiator is going in for sure now and there will be some more engine room. I just dont want to change it all out and burp the system AGAIN! lol.
Auch!
Yeah no kidding!Quote:

Nice, with the size and placement of it, and the location of the turbo...it looks meant to be lol. It would be sick to see that turbo glowing through the grille

This is the way I tucked my tb cable on Ivory and The Tumbler
Unhook your throttle body cable and runit behind the engine block and along the subframe

I then re-ziptied the cable along the lines along the firewall (redid it with blue zipties so its easy for everyone to spot)

It should easily make a "U" shape and fire directly back to the throttle body

No binding no problems and works just fine :)
