Coolant tank broke.

So my coolant tank broke. I fixed the broken nipples on it, then today i checked and it has split right down the center in the back.

So i need a replacement. I dont care if its WRX or what, as long as it works.

Check the local junkyards, or NASIOC.

Now is the time to get a metal one and relocate it.

I have a guy at work Im going to see about having him fabricate something for me made out of alluminum. I would like to take the broken one I have right now and give it to him to use as a jig. So anything to get me by right now will work.

There are no EJ22T's in the local junkyard.

There are ways to get by without the tank. My car hasn't had one for years.

VRG if you can, would you mind snapping a picture of the section where your fill bottle used to exist? Would like to see how you T'd everything together.

Unfortunately, I can't... It's not set up like that anymore. Right now I'm actually not watercooling my turbo at all.

But there isn't much to see; you don't even have to tee anything. Just use a 1/2" barbed elbow to connect the two big lines together. The small line that used to go to the back of the tank isn't needed anymore, and the small line that used to go to the filler neck goes to the new filler neck.

On another note -- while going through some old stuff today, I found my old coolant tank. It probably had about five thousand miles on it when I took it off the car. If you'd like it, PM me an offer.
