I'm running a water cooled turbo for my up and coming project. and I'm trying to get a feel of what lines to tap and the way it looks. So any pics are very useful. lemmie see what you got. thnx

 

also what types of fittings people are using to tee it as well would be helpful. thnx

 

no pics here as I don't have a water cooled turbo, but IF I was gonn do it, I would tap the water neck that the upper rad hose attaches to with a fitting and run a coolant feed from there, and then I would tap the coolant drain bolt on the front of the motor with a fitting for a coolant return line.

Seems like the least amount of plumbing this way......

 

well i bought the tuner toys block adapter for the return. http://tunertoys.zoovy.com/product/WPAD

so i heard the best place for a feed is the throttle body. i'm not very good at tapping into my own engine. so i'm trying the easiest route. thnx for the idea. bump for some pics

 

werd....basically that is what I said to do.

That fitting is a good idea.

 

Use the tb lines and eliminate the water path thru the tb.No need for a water heated tb.

Thanks BigRed!

An easy way to do this (if you don't need a place to put a temperature sender), is to just remove the line that feeds the throttle body. Then hook up one of each lines to the turbo to each of the connections where you took the TB line off. That way you are just puting the turbo in line with the rest of the system.
