Do you have the part number for your coolant tree.?
Which car does it comes from?

Swapping the tree again is probably not the shortest path to victory, and I still don't think it is the main issue here. I've run into similar issues with this; on my R the answer was different hard lines to the turbo, and on my dad's T5 the answer was to bend the oil feed to clear the block.

My current problem is the fuel line.
The coolant tree in the way of fuel line.
It's not safe to put the fuel lines contact with coolant tree. The vibration will rupture the fuel lines.
I check my coolant tree. It's from 2000 c70. It seems like having a different venting pattern than the JR photo.
I'm thinking about buying a new coolant tree right now. The turbo cooling line can be adjusted. The fuel lines must Be fit tightly without any contacts.

I'm in the same boat. Been doing some research on the water tree and was advised by ScottishBrick that the correct tree PN is 9445880, which, I believe IS the tree you are using.
I just got the same one (see below). Notice the S-shaped provision to the engine block on the end? If you compare that to the one Jared has, you'll see that the turbo outlet hose connection
starts further away (closer to the water pump) and that might be the reason why the rubber hose is too short. According to my research (see here), this hose (31439471) was the same for all versions. On the other hand, turbo outlet pipes that this hose attaches to, were different, depending on the model. I believe using a longer rubber hose is a much better solution than changing the hard lines to the turbo.
As for the fuel lines clearance - this seems really odd. Here are both images next to each other - camera angle is not the same, but yeah, it's obvious that the expansion tank provision on the left tree is in the way of the fuel lines bracket.
@JaredR, if I recall, you said you ended up using the same tree @linm126 and me are using now (link to your post here). The one you're showing here is different. Did you use that tree on a different car? And if so, how did you solve this issue with fuel lines?

Yeah, that water tree that you're using and gofra pictured is different than what I (and Jared used). Mine is the one with the more vertical end on the right above.
The easiest way through is to move the fuel lines to the other side of the "s" in the water pipe, like they should be, and then bend them to clear the water pipe and attach to the lower mount.

I'm planning to do just that. I do wonder how much bending can these take - the silver in-between part is aluminium, if I'm not mistaken. Also, adding some sorts of rubber cushion clamp might be a good idea to make sure pipes don't touch and to annulate vibration.

Oops I misinterpreted what was going on in that picture. Yeah, that coolant tree looks like it might be incompatible with the N fuel line. I have the same one on my R, which came from a 2000 V70R, but I am running a RN fuel line. I am not sure exactly what engine the one on my dad's T5 came from but my 07 T5M and the 04 B5244T7 in the basement have the same one so probably anything 03+ has the line you need to clear the N fuel lines.

P2R OE pipe is, I believe, PN 30650430:
![Bicycle part Nickel Aluminium Metal Fashion accessory]()
Keep in mind though, that this one has the turbo inlet provision angled by 90° as you can see on the image above. All pre-00 P80 cars had this provision coming out straight or at a slight angle from the main tree. This means you'll either have to use a different turbo inlet hose & pipe combo or modifiy the provision (cut + thicken the ending somehow so that the hose wont come off).
So, it seems your choices (and mine, lol) are:
1) Use PN 9445880 where you have to deal with fuel line clearances and a longer tube for the outlet turbo provision.
2) Use PN 30650430 where you'll need to modify the inlet provision (or choose later version inlet hose and pipe).

Here's my solution.
I just going to junk yard and getting a lower coolant pipe from a 09 S60. It uses the 30650430. I also have a later version turbo that has coolant port on both side. So they will fit.
The coolant tree I will order a new one. It's impossible to take out of a junk car without dropping the engine.

There are at least three offers for that exact tree on Ebay (all US) - check them out.

So this pipe will only fit the "later version turbos", no matter the provision orientation on the main water tree?

I tried there is one bolt behind the exhaust manifold. I can't get any tool in it. The space is too tight.
