Hi Guys,
The TEE fittings on my N63TU started leaking... They are made out of plastic.... And this engine runs very hot ( two turbos and catalytic converters are under hood on top of the engine )
The OEM fitting is 3/8 on one side and then 1/2 but at the end of the hose... It's 3/8 again.
I found nice aluminum made tees that are 3/8 all around any issues with changing to that, considering that it is restricted at the end to 3/8?
Any issues with aluminum heat soaking and transferring heat back to the hose?
The fitting point to the right is 1/2 size
And then second spot is the Y fitting...

It looks like above, can I replace it with Tee I can't find this in aluminum...
I'm not sure if there are any fluid dynamics... I know that this car has second coolant reservoir for turbos... And if it runs dry, it will suck coolant from main loop maybe those odd sizes and not typical Y is designed for fluid dynamic suction or something?
I might get those custom made for me... So they are perfect replicas in aluminum
Thx guys
