Turbo charger piping

I have a JDM 2.5 I am using for my build. I wondering how to plumb/run the coolant lines from the radiator to the coolant reservoir?

Are you talking about AWIC heat exchanger? I bent some 1" aluminum tubing and ran it next to the radiator pipes along each side of the car. I had to enlarge the hole in the sheetmetal at the forward firewall and slightly modify the dead pedal sheetmetal to cover.

No, the coolant reservoir to the turbo. Thanks for responding.

That's a rubber hose coming from the back bottom of the expansion tank. It goes onto a pipe rising near vertical then angling forward and to the right across the top of the turbo. The overflow of the tank goes to a cross pipe over the top of the block and back to the water pump inlet. The smaller overflow from the pressure cap drains to the recovery tank.

See pics. First pic: hard line comes from turbo to black line. Second pic: continuation of black line (I'm pointing to it) to red line to overflow tank. Ignore the red-to-black thing, it's a single line. I just have a junction/change of lines because I didn't have enough cool red stuff to go all the way and didn't feel like ponying up for more just yet.

Here is a diagram of coolant routing from the forum that I have added some notes to. I ran the pipe from the radiator to T into the #1 line and have had no problems thus far.

My mechanic (AndrewTech) insisted that I keep the stock placement of the caps, so I have followed their advice rather than swapping them as suggested here.

Hey Dave,
Mine is the same as your sketch. Works great and is self bleeding.
I used 5/16 hose from the top of the radiator to the degas tank. That hos is "t" together with the "Wayne's mod hose before going into the degas tank. I also added a 1/8" pill in the "wayne's mod" hose. This picture is of a mid-engine Pantera cooling system which is very similar except i did not use a swirl tank.
