turbo m7 exhaust- coolant hose clearance

[catmanm7]

I am setting up my custom m7 turbo using a garrett 2876r turbo. It is pretty tight in there and I need some input of pictures of what you guys are doing.
1) do I try and find a coolant bottle that 90s back toward the tunnel cooler.
2) trim the coolant hose to try and get it so that it will not stick out as far without kinking.
Turbo is turned as far as I can to make everything work.
I will be running 3" exhaust exit with muffler. How hot would the exhaust get, what kind of clearance would you recommend between muffler and coolant hose.
Also would like to see pics of the stinger end of your pipes. Mine will have to be pretty short.
Thanks for any input.

I'm sure you could make it work in that location but it might be a cleaner setup if you relocated it like cutler does. The newer m8 bottle has more of a 90" turn also.

I have looked at all the installs that I could find on the turbo market, he is the only one that relocates it, for his cold air intake. I would have to figure out what premolded hoses to use though. One more thing to fab up. And I also noticed the m8s have the 90 on the reservoir, but dont they have problems with the cap warping, or maybe that was just oil bottle. Anyway, thank you for the pics. I will keep at it and figure something out.

I switched to the m8 bottle and cap its a much better setup. And does have a bend to it. I think the new bottle with a heat shield for the hose would work.

That looks like what I need. I am using a muffler (dynaport) or something like that, it looks similar to yours. i appreciate your help.
