Is that a faucet on your coolant feed line to the turbo?
What's that all about?

From the OG post:

Two air bleeding spots were implemented to help get all the air out. One is a "system flush" adapter installed on the hose leading to the heater core valve. The second is located at the turbo coolant line, it is a 3 way adapter ( barb end + barb end + NPT) On the NPT, a petcock was installed. So all the high points of the system can be "burped".

Kurt, Yes the vents, (I have my flame suit on :biglaugh: ) I will get some better pics for ya tomorrow. Once the car is done they should fit in. I was trying to come up with ways to get the heat out from under the hood, this was one idea. I molded them out of fiberglass.

daledoe: Thanks.

Here is the "concept" chop I did back in 2002, shortly after is when I made them, yep, these are not new to me. Sorry for whoevers car the OG is that I did the chop to, but then again it was back in 2002 so I don't even remember whos car the OG pic is from. But I did the basic chop to it: tint, rims, extended the sides down, and of course the vent.
BTW, I have many other concepts for a side vent, but decided I liked this one, so I went with it.

VID

Ok this vid is not all that great, but it is a vid :icon_razz This was when she still only had about 20 miles on her, revs were below 3k, and still getting use to the very sensitive throttle.
