Ok guys, I just installed the spring BUT now I noticed this housing doesnt have the hookups for the coolant hoses???
What can I do now ???? Can I take the ones from my old TB into this one ? Or am I stuck with doing a TB bypass ???

Its a bitch and yes. They are pressed in and so you will have to work em out and press em into the other housing. Before you put em in put the tubes in the freezer overnight and leave the TB outside in the sun for a few ours and it will go back together alot easier.

Right now I have a TB bypass since I did the swap a couple hours before I went to work and I didnt noticed that the new TB housing didnt have the tubes
