The 1983 244 Turbo restoration project: now featuring intercooled boost 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Sun Dec 30 15:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Well.. I've never peeked at a non intercooled turbo... but for your needs it may be easier to adapt a tank from a 700 series turbo. The 240T IC coolant tank was designed to be held on with an L bracket. The 700 series tank (from a turbo anyways) is slightly larger but is held on by what appears to be a band clamp around a recessed portion of the tank.

As far as hoses go... the overflow tank to radiator hose looks pretty precarious on my 85 244 Turbo too. Again, I'm not sure if this is how it SHOULD look tho...
