You need a metre of 32 mm flexible rubber water hose and need to take it under the oil filter, then loop it over onto the gtt rad outlet, think you cut it down to around 70cm

Gary move the GTT rad over giving you a little more space / clearance make a couple of top brackets to secure in place.

all sorted now. I had all ready moved the rad over only about an inch tho as the intercooler pipes need to come back through there. used the 32mm superflex pipe wrapped it round the filter. Not looking foward to changing the filter after flushing the engine:rolleyes::laugh:
