Does anyone have specific directions on how to bypass the trottle body's accelerated warm up coolant line and use those water lines to cool your turbo. I have all the correct water feed/retun fittings for the turbo itself, however I am struggling to find exactly what collant line I need to tap into and where it is located in the engine bay.

Also is there anything wrong with using heater hose for both the feed and return lines since its not pressurized.

Thanks...Any help would be great.

 

Heater hose should be fine. Im using fuel line. Just go look at the throttle body. Theres two lines that goes in. One in, one out. T off them and your good.

 

There is a coolant line that goes into the TB and one that goes out from the TB. One in and one out. Either use tees like he said, or remove the hoses, plug the ports on the throttle body, and use the ports that used to connect to the TB to run coolant hoses.

 

I would suggest not using Tee's but just determine which line flows out of the throttle-body (TB). Connect a line from the port leaving the TB to the turbo and then out of the turbo back to the engine. This way the turbo heat will be added to the water flow after it has flowed pass the TB -- thereby not fooling the ECU into thinking the engine is fully warmed up when in fact isn't.

as far as i was aware, the coolant lines for the throttle body were only to keep it from freezing up in cold weather and have nothing to do with any sensor dealing with engine temp (correct me if i'm wrong)
i would bypass the coolant from the throttle body altogether as to not heat up the intake charge anymore than i could help it (it's not cold here)
