Running coolant thru turbo SEPERATE from car coolant system..
I was just wondering what kind of water pump could handle the extreme temps and durations of driving to achieve this, also would I need a small radiator type thing or just a resivoir.

you would want some type of heat exchanger or it is no better than just leaving coolant in the turbo, it needs to be cooled.
you would need to look into an electric water pump to pump the coolant, try CSI, they make alot of domestic water pumps, so you would have to custom make alot of ****.
its easier to tap into the existing lines however, KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Well the reason I'm thinking about trying this is I do NOT want to hook it back up to the existing coolant because that caused me nothing but leaking problems, overheating issues due to the leaking and lots of headaches, as of now the coolant lines are not hooked up.

I think your best bet is to get a pump from an air to water kit. The pump that came with the kit I had was really heavy duty and I'm pretty sure would have done a great job. Have you ever thought about just running oil cooled and leaving the water off? I've heard of people doing it but I still run both oil/water.
