Default Gt35 Coolant Lines???

I want to upgrade my turbo setup from a sc-61 to a gt35. I want to know where everyone running a water cooled turbo taps for the coolant, and where it gets returned. Pictures would be great thanks!

All turbos use oil, oil is used for lubrication not cooling, some turbos use the coolant from the engine to cool them.

T a line from the throttle body coolant.

If you don't have an automatic transmission, you can run it through the portion of your radiator that would be used to cool the AT fluid. On manual Preudea there are plugs and this section of the radiator is unused.

This is true but if you just run lines from your turbo to the radiator the water is just going to sit there...there needs to be some type of pump to move the fluid though the radiator.

And the return?
Well, let me rephase that...take the pressure line off the T/B run it to the turbo and run the return line off the turbo to the pressure side of the T/B or you could use the return line
