Hyundai turbo
Well first, hello i am new to HMT and currenty undegoing my first turbo porject on a 2000 hyundai elantra .
Now before I give the wrong lazy noob impression , i have searched , read all the stickys and even read Maximum Boost. Good book . I am doing a ghetto turbo setup with a ebay T3. I have clocked it and made my little wastegate bracket and I have the square hole down [oil return?] the problem is it is also water cooled and there are two hard water lines running into banjo bolts , how do i tell which one is for the water feed and the water return? Are they nessacery? Can i possibly just not use them for now until i can afford to mess with them?

I was going to but I'm not, but then again I haven't driven my car yet (still fine tuning installation)
you get coolant from the Throttle body or at least that's where I was going to get it.

Re: Hyundai turbo
On my hyundai I took it from the TB. If it is possible to get coolant do it then do it but if not I really wouldnt sweat it that much. We're boosting my friends elantra (06) now too =-) Without the coolant (since its meant for both) make sure to use a turbo timer or just keep it running a few minutes yourself before you shut it off. Definitely let the car warm up before you drive it too =-)

Re: Hyundai turbo
from what iv heard from people who have run coolant and not is it is sapose to help cool the turbo a bit when your are running after use, (turbo timer) so the cooler you get the oil in it befor it sits is saposed to be better for it
just what iv heard, but there prob tghere for a reason because automakers dont like to spend a cent they dont have to
