Review on πŸ’¨ Enhance Performance with the Sinister Diesel Turbo Coolant Feed Line for 2011-2016 Ford Powerstroke 6.7L+ by Cho Screeton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good fit - better than factory parts

Overall good product. Much better components than the factory OEM - if you want it, you can have it for life. The swap took about 2 hours - narrow margins for both pipe ends. Don't waste time undoing the push-on fitting at the end of the turbo, it's caked up and it's almost impossible to fit a tire changer in the blink of an eye - just cut the steel coolant tube after the last bend with a cut off. Wheel so you can get a straight shot with a 19mm head at the base that fits unscrewing - it's all going in the trash anyway. Be sure to spray some PB Blaster or something similar on the turbo fitting before trying to loosen it - it will rust. They have a goose foot (18mm) and a small 1/4 ratchet to get back in there - it's tight. The end of the hose and clamp is simple. I didn't drain the coolant from the system for this swap, as long as you leave the coolant caps on the radiator and expansion tank it will just spill out of the fitting and you'll lose about a liter down the valley - just flush it when you're done. As for the parts to remove, the only things that need to be removed are the intake manifold (black plastic) and the air pipe coming from the EGR cooler to gain adequate access. Not a bad job, and this install should take a lot longer than Freezing. My stock setup ran 140,000 miles before it started leaking.
