Default TPIS Mini ram

On my L98 it has a coolant line that connects to the rear of the manifold. I currently have a super ram and it has accommodations for that connection. I don't believe the mini ram has a connection for that. If not, what do you do with that connection? this is on a c4.
Pictures please.

Chuck

Coolant line at the rear of the manifold? Could you please post a pic of the line you are talking about?I don't remember a coolant line in the back of my L98 or can I see a coolant fitting on the pictures of the super ram.


Tpo pic is the L98 Factory manifold from the rear.... bottom is a super ram base from the front... couldn't find one from the back. On the L98, I don't see a coolant port.

The first picture is a stock manifold showing the location. The second is my super ram base with it connected. It is an air purge line for the intake.

It's a burp line, just did some reading and Camaros don't use it. Hence why it is not on my L98. Should be fine to cap it and tuck it away.

Please get a second opinion on this as I have not done this personally and have no source other than reading a few different places and putting 2+2=4 together.

My miniram doesn't have a waterline at the back of the manifold. My SuperRam before it didn't either.

If he is doing what you described, I have that line that I capped off too since I am not using it for the manifold with the HSR.
