Automatic radiator transmission lines to cool turbocharger??
Would it work to use transmission oil line fittings from automatic radiator for return/feed line for turbochrager water lines? in other words.. just run coolant through there on 5 speed that is..
why? some ebay radiators come with these fittings whether automatic or 5 speed.. was wondering if that would work or not.

so you want to use the auto radiator in a manual and use the transmission fluid cooler section of the radiator to run coolant for your turbo?

That is what i was getting at i just wanted to make sure what he was talking about.
So yes you would need a pump. Just tap your existing coolant lines

no, not for oil.. for coolant.. just thought it might work but now i see what could be the problem (nothing to rotate it)
