With the 6an in the rear, is there a way to add a provision that would allow you to also hook up the TB/oil cooler hoses in addition to the heater hose that you can think of? I know the old Skou piece had this option. Maybe some kind of adapter T or something?
Thanks. Essentially I mean simply taking the small
line from oil cooler and routing it to the mixing manifold like stock (I will use the skunk2 tb so. I like but retain factory oil cooler)

I'm going to have a 5/16" barb welded into the center of the hump for the turbo feed. The oil warmer lines are the same size. Will post a pic once it is done.

Please post the pic. This sounds like what I’m looking for.

Ended up buying a fitting from home depot and ordering a tap for it off of amazon instead of welding. You'll need to make the 7/16" hole yourself and then tap it for the fitting. The 3/8 barb adapter fit my 5/16" ID turbo coolant hose a little snug, but it works.
Will post a pic tomorrow when it is done.
Here is the tap and fitting.

As promised, pics of the inlet adapter with a 3/8 ID barb to connect to the turbo. Tapping the thread for the 1/4 NPT is no joke. You need a good vise and a big tap wrench.
Thanks for the updated pictures. I wasn't exactly sure where you were headed initially, but I like you're creativity!
I don't have a car in the shop at the moment to verify, but I would be very surprised if the inlet fit with the PS pump in its oem location. I may be looking at running PS in my car at some point, so making a retrofit kit might be something that happens at some point.
Is -16AN large enough on the radiator lines? I'm looking at a similar project, and hose lines seem to be -20AN (which is tough at best to find).
The factory hose is -16AN or smaller. Look at the outlet on the mixing manifold and you'll be surprised how small it is vs what you'd think it would be.
