Default another coolant line question

can you feed and return both to the radiator?

i want to feed it off the bottom of the rad and return it to the top.


i am having some slight overheating issues and i figured it would be best if the hot coolant from the turbo doesnt ever even go to the motor. if its possible i would like to both feed and return directly to the radiator with weld on fittings.

i would look to a radiator that has coolant lines in place already. Problem solved.

Also, down here in florida wheres its hot as hell, My 12" fan couldnt hold up to the heat, so i found a 13" mardyne from Xenocron.com which pulls 1300 cfm and its doing a great job of keeping it cool.

I have seen people feed and return to the bottom and top of the radiator a lot...the turbo doesnt NEED a whole lot of flow through it, and the fluid transfer would happen enough because of temperature differential.
