Run it through the coolant passage under the throttle body which leads to the iacv.

There is no T involved. Run it in a series as opposed to parallel.

Disconnect the hose going to the IACV.
Follow the hose you disconnected to its source.
From the source, run a hose to the turbo.
Grab another hose and run it from the turbo to the IACV.
Done!

Merry Christmas!

Yea, hook up the water lines too if you have one and get an advantage for better cooling. With oil and water cooling, you don't need the turbo timer.
