water cooling lines how are you running them?
So I've decided on a new turbo, this one is water and oil cooled. I actually got a new radiator a month ago and this one has two nipples on the bottom for possibly a tranny cooler? Well can I just run the coolant lines of the new turbo to the two radiator nipples at the bottom? Most people T into the radiator hose right? I'm not sure exactly who's doing what but can someone give me a heads up on their set up and if anyone has done what I'm thinking? Thanks

okay, i thought of that, but then the coolant would just circulate through the turbo and through throttle? I'm not sure, but isn't the coolant lines of the turbo point to circulate through the radiator? The engine is just hot right, so wouldn't id be ideal to just circulate the turbo coolant through the turbo and straight to the radiator and bypass the engine? Maybe someone can explain because I can't find anything on google. Thanks

do whatever u want. try the search button dude. there plenty of people that have posted pictures of it. they just dont run coolant to the throttle body anymore. If u dont live in northern canada, u dont need the throttle body to be heated. and 200+ degree water is whats cooling ur 1000+ degree turbo.. yes it cools just fine. no other easier way to do it.

For my turbo, I just disconnected one of the coolant lines going to the TB I think, and hooked it to my turbo, then ran a hose from my other turbo coolant line to where the TB one would have been connecting.
The way I see it, you shouldn't T into stuff, you should keep it in a linear fashion, where coolant flows from one thing to the next. Biggest benefit to running coolant to your turbo...no real need for a turbo timer!

Okay thanks for the reply guys, and good info, I was thinking the same thing with propelling the flow with those radiator ports....I think I'll just run through the tb lines, I believe I disconnected them when I swapped my motor lol, so I will have to reconnect them, thanks

did you just butt them together? If so, you've got a perfect spot right there to include the coolant flow, and even a butt connector to like one line through. I guess mine though I just followed one of the hoses to the TB, and removed it altogether, and ran a new line from the source to the turbo to the TB, like adding another link in a chain. Just curious, what kind of turbo did you decide on?
