Here you go:

One line off the heater inlet hosebarb on the water oulet off the head.


One line off the barb on the throttle body.


Each line to an adapter, then to (in this case), stainless steel lines to the turbo.


All you're doing is incorporating the turbo into the coolin system, making a big "T", so to speak.

Hope that helps

On my d-series turbo I just tapped into the coolant line that goes from the head to the throttle body. There was a section of hardline, which I chopped in half and attached one end to one hose and the other end to another. Then I just ran the turbo inline... super easy.

It's really not that hard to do, just buy up some hose, find a coolant line, and hook them up. Only took me about 5 minutes total.

in theory shouldn't you be able to run the line from the block to the turbo and then from the turbo to the throttle body replacing the stock line altogether? or will that not work. i just bought a gt35r and will need to be doing this same thing real soon@

Yeah, that's basically what I did, but it was just easier to use part of the lines that were already there.

There are many other ways to run water lines, that's just how I did it.
