Review on πŸ’§ ICT Billet Radiator Hose Barb Coupler with 1/8" NPT Port: LS Swap Steam/Coolant Crossover Splice by Carlos Deuschle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ultimately it could have been more but settled on my Saab 9-3 Upper Hose Tee

Good product, would have enlarged the T area to be able to cut it into a larger fitting Place at least 1/2 barb connector ready. For a 2005 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo you will need at least three brass adapters to connect the turbo coolant hose to the tee. The first is 1/8" mpt - 3/8 fpt. , then work (don't think about the size of the next fitting) to get to the 1/2" nozzle fitting. A worthy permanent replacement for the plastic fitting comes with the new upper hose. Prone to failures due to external torque and coolant temperature from the turbine.
