Pic Wanted of GT2 Power Steering Tank.

Doing the EVOMS Hydraulic Clutch Conversion, and debating terminating the clutch boost assist at the tank, rather than at the slave ends.
Could someone post a good resolution pics of the lines/hoses on the steering tank of your GT2 ? Something like this pic of the "regular" 996TT.
Thanks.

My conversion's solution.

Hey, we did not have the EVO instructions that I posted earlier this week....so improvision was done....love it when mechanics get creative. Here is the solution my indy came up with given a complete mystery at the time (attached).


Hope this helps. The line closest to the rear right of the car is capped off...bad camera, sorry.

Thanks Jeff:
Pretty much knew it's the small pressure line (front one) and small return line (rear one). Just kind of interested in how it looks on the GT2.
Pictures are bad....but thanks for the effort.
How/where did your guy plug the return?

Also, any advice on the longer flex hose. It attaches on the driver's side body, and appears to be an internal circlip attachement. Removal appears to be just a big tug? Current:


Replacement hose....

Anyone here know do you just yank the hose out, or do you have to disconnect the coupler, and remove a circlip?

Looking at the picture, and from my experiance with the PS lines. You are gonna unscrew the coupler. The male part will have a clip inside that you'll have to remove, but first you need to remove a C clip that is between the male part of the coupler and the hose(This will allow you to press the hole into the male coupling and give you sufficient play to remove the clip). At least that's how it was on the PS line. Also, pay attention to the diameters of everything as when I installed an updated part, the diameter of the hole in the new male coupling that I had was a bit different and would cause a nasty leak down the line if unnoticed. Again this was for the steering and not clutch, but the coupling looked identical.
