What is this tube on top of my radiator?
Can anyone tell me what this tube is for? Its the one that comes right off the top of the radiator. Here is a pic. (and i'm not talking about the overflow tube.)

i think it might be a 22rte since the distributor is small and the set up looks different than a normal 22re

The turbocharger is water cooled. That's the coolant return line for the turbo. Not a lot of turbo truck around, most people probably have never seen that line

that is the coolant FEED for the ct-20 turbo... Trust me! In the attached pic, you'll see where I had removed the outlet on the radiator and had the hole covered (with a nickel). I did so because my t3/t4 isn't water cooled.

So what do I do with the line from the turbo that goes to the radiator if the new radiator doesn't have a port for it at the top. Can I make a port or maybe run it to the overflow tank instead since its a return and not a supply?
And thanks for the wise a$$ comment wyoming9. Some of us haven't yet learned what others may have, hence the reason that we are all here. If you are not here to share the things that YOU know, then just stay your a$s in the woods where you belong.

Tee it into something on the low-pressure side of the water pump, like the return from the heater core, or the upper rad hose. You COULD tap into the lower rad hose, or lower part of the radiator, but you won't give that coolant from the turbo a chance to be cooled.
