Default water pump fabrication
Has anyone changed outlets or fabricated different outlets on the water pump so the heater core hoses dont touch the turbo or log? Weld a 90 etc?

I don't know of any but if you have the means to weld on cast aluminum it seems pretty straight forward.

There is a company called CBM who make a bunch of pump ends of various angles, end types, etc.

I just extended mine and ran it around the fender and up under the turbo to the pump.

If you pull the barbs out (they are pressed in), the holes are perfect size for 3/8npt and 1/2npt taps. Once you tap it you can put whatever fitting you want in there.
