Where to tap for coolant lines for a T-25 turbo?
I'm getting ready to install a T-25 dsm turbo on my 97 civic with the d16 motor. My question is, where would you tap into for the coolant feed and return lines? Any help would be appreciated, links even better.

Re: Where to tap for coolant lines for a T-25 turbo? (G2turbo_terror)
Are you talking about the coolant line that comes off the thermostate and makes a U shape back into the throttle body? Any other suggestions? I'm installing the turbo saturday (that is if all the parts get here on time) and this is the ONLY part I'm not to sure about. I don't know much about my cars cooling system, and I wasn't sure if there is pressure in the lines constantly or if there are only certain lines I could use, and when it would work. Any more help, I'm really confused.

I had made this pic for someone a while back, do a coolent bypass for the intake manifold and run the lines out of the thermostat to the turbo in and out.....

That thermostat is completly different than mine, and I'm not to sure what you mean by a coolant bypass. Sorry but I need a little more help.

that small coolant line isn't big enough to cool the turbo.
also, don't run in series or you will risk overheating,
I finally (after someone suggested it here) put T lines in at the heater core inlet and outlet so my turbo is run in parallel to the heater core.
Works great.

I'm sorry I still don't understand the technical terms, are you talking about the two lines that go towards the firewall on the back half of the thermastat housing? One being the inlet and one being the outlet for the coolant lines? If so which is the inlet and which is the outlet? Will it always have coolant, or will it be only at certain times?
Sorry if this makes me seem stupid, I've just never messed with the cooling part of my car.
