yeah man pulled the old t piece out by levering it with a long screwdriver , its just presed in there. then got a single pipe fitting which we tapped the thermostat housing where the old t piece went and screwed in the new singe pipe fitting from memory that goes off to my turbo which depending on if the turbo your running is watercooled or not you might be able to do away with that altogether and just put a blanking plug into the thermostat housing
