    Default Thermostat Housing

    OK I'm finishing up a 6 bolt swap and trying to solve this little issue. I look through the gallery and its seems like a bunch of people have different thermostat housings. So the basic deal is....I've got Square connecting to the turbo for water feed but I'm not sure if the circled pipe is supposed to be hooked up. I'm thinking it needs to get blocked off but thats a guess. And of course the unmarked pipe goes to the overflow tank. Can anyone verify my therory? Specifically those who've done a 6 bolt swap.

    The 2.4 is done....Now just need to tune the shit out of it

    Since I'm not looking at the car I'm going by what I remember. The square one is for the Oil cooler, circle for the turbo and as you said unmarked for overflow.

    So.....ummm......Uh... Yeah.

    So I refer to my prior post. Seeing that I am using a external oil cooler I can block off the "square" pipe right? Also for shits and grins could I just run the turbo off of the "square" pipe and block off the "circle" pipe? (Just want to know cuz it's a little easier to reach.)
