I'm about to drop a starion engine in my 1st gen and need some help.

How do I plumb the coolant return line from the turbo. The manual shows the pipe the runs around the back has a Y near the front where it meets the water pump? Problem is i don't have the Y in my pipe.

I plan on using the montero steering pump but oil pressure sensor is in the way. Can I just plug that port and get oil pressure off the side of the block like on the monty? There looks to be clearance but not sure till I get the turbo coolant line figured out.


Some have a y on the pump others have the outlet right from the waterpump if you dont have a pipe that goes around the block with a Y you need a the waterpump with it.

I kinda like the Starion sterring so you can have your resivor higher up in the engine bay more easy to get too and maybe more away from water. You probly could use the other spot for oil pressure tho.

Good luck!
