Icon2 Question on turbo coolant return line

I was looking at the B&H fitting water line kit, and it comes with a aluminum weld on bung, if i don't want to weld anything on my current radiator, how do you route the coolant line back to the system? Can I get one of those coolant hose port adapter thing from ebay? It has a port for water temperature sensor, maybe I can just use that to feed the coolant back?

If not, could you post some picture on how you did it? Thanks.

If you know what the thread size is for the radiator drain plug I can include an adapter so you can return it there.

nope. Just use what B&R has and don't look back. You're getting the rest of the kit from him, why dick around with parts you have no idea will work?

B&R can definitely get you the right fitting. My rad drain plug was m10 x 1.0

Yea, well I just installed the rad last spring, and i need to drive my car this summer. I won't be asking the question if i can just take the plug out. I am buying all the parts now, so i can putting stuff in in the upcoming winter.

There is no way that is accurate. Looks like you are going to need to measure for yourself.
