turbo coolant bypass question

[V8hntr]

I am removed my stock CT-26 60tirm turbo which is both water cooled and oil cooled in order to replace it with the SP61 turbo which is oil cooled only. My question is what is the best way to plug the return coolant pipe or bypass it. The CT-26 used a bunjo fitting on the return coolant from the turbo. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have searched all the SM forums but could not find any helpful answers.

thanks

A piece of hose between the 2 fittings.

Or you can just get some 3/8 fuel line from the parts store if you dont feel like spending alot of cash.

loop it like IJ said +1. The reason for this is if you cap it off the caps tend to leak over time and it screws with the flow through the coolant system. Some people have reported minor heat issues with just capping the lines. Good luck!
