Sorry, but I think it's funny we cool turbo's with hot water.

Yeah, but define "hot" water. 180 degree water is gonna cool down a 1200 degree turbo.

I removed one of the short coolant hoses from the area under my throttle body. That left me with two openings in my coolant system. Run a hose from one opening to your turbo, then another hose from your turbo to the remaining opening. It doesn't really matter which one goes where. Clear as mud?

BTW, I think running coolant lines is a *really* good idea on turbos that have them available, although a lot of people don't bother. I find this confusing since it's probably the easiest part of the whole turbo install, and it helps with the longevity of the turbo, as well as reducing coking around the bearing.
