Water return for the turbo

i got a question whats the bolt below the water feed cause ive seen poeple run water return there dnt know if u have to modify it but seems like an option anyone know more?

Service manual says it's just a drain plug for when flushing the system.

there not actually called series 1 and series 2 its just how its made. and its either one or the other not half n half...

What does everyone use for oil return line? And where can I find it cheers

I got an oil drain pipe for the bottom of the turbo, which can be sourced from ebay, appropriate size fitting for the block (from a fitting place, pritec/enzed), I can't remember exactly but I think it is 3/4" thread to block and 1/2" hose end, and then sourced a hose for oil with a 90� bend and cut to fit.

Beauty thanks mate

Don't quote me on the hose end fitting size though, it may be 1" thread and 3/4" hose end, better check it to make sure when you do it.

Need help did a conversion on my vl today when the car is just idling its fine but when I go to rev it,it backfires and sound like the car is drowning lol eg flooded or something

would love more specifics of where to plumb the water return from the turbo to IE pics would be great Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
