tappin in near the TB is good because the line is either right off the rear water pipe which is a good feed off the waterpump.

Do you have to run the coolant lines for the GT turbos?

No.

On my D series, there is a small water hose that runs from the intake manifold to the throttle body. You throw that hose away and run a water line from the manifold to the turbo, then the other turbo line to the throttle body. Piece of cake.

For those of you that are water cooled, how much are your coolant temps affected? I'm doing some research into a setup for HPDE's but am afraid 30 minutes of lapping on a water cooled turbo could get way to hot to be able to handle it.

You don't HAVE to, but for longevity of that bearing system, for what you've paid for, you'd better...

I hear that my gt2871r was not cheap. I hurd that tuner toys has a water cooler kit but they are all out of them. does anyone know of anywhere else that you can get one.

I don't have any experience with the gt's but i'm imagining with a little amount of fab any small cooler should work. ie one from a bike or even on made for like psor oil. Do you have a bigger radiator and fan though. Because tons of more heat is created by exaust gasses throughout the system than cooling lines on a turbo. If your concerned I'd look at my radiator and fan .

I would like to see pics of this as well. On a DSM it is much easier considering they are factory turboed and come water cooled. Bump for a pic.
