Tapping the coolant
 

I was looking around discount auto today to find something to tap into my coolant lines to run them in a loop to and from my TB. All I found was "Vacu-Tite" universal double sided Tap. Would the plastic hold? Or do I need some sort of copper tap?

Why not just buy longer lines and do away with all of the stupid connectors? It's probably cheaper, too.

Yeah thinking of that. How long should I need? I got 7ft of 5/16. Dont think that will be enough.

Maybe. That might be a bit shy. That would work for at least one of them. :-\

Oh Well guess I'll just buy 7 or so more. ;)

Plastic is fine, im using like 3 3 way splitters. They are doing great so far and more durable then you think. As long as there not right next to the turbo or manifold, your fine.

from what I hear...if a turbo is oil and water cooled you don't even have to use the water cooling side. just run the oil lines. I think this is what abaz did on the most recent turbo setup he made right?

turbos get really hot its alot better if you run the coolant lines. I ran mine off the intake manifold, (theres a coolant hookup there) to the turbo then from the turbo to the line that was originally hooked up to the intake manifold easier than pie. I should get some pics up of my setup.
