....and just incase anybody thinks they have an acurate factory coolant temperature reading, no you don't.

Put an aftermarket temperature gauage on and then install your coolant lines. Then go for some WOT passes and see how much of an increase you get from that red hot turbo.

yeah right, maybe not that you know of, like doc said, hook up an after market temp gauge that actually shows temp in degrees farenheit or celcius, not just 'hot' and 'cold' :P

I don't have really any experience with this but it seems like common sense that your factory cooling system isn't going to be able to keep up with the oven you are adding to it. The turbo is going to be running extremely hot and unless you are going to add another radiator you are just going to be heating up your coolant to much for it to be able to discharge the heat. Now I sure with some adjustment to the stock cooling system you would be able to make it work and for the people that do have it working, I say you are lucky and yea get a real temp gauge and see how hot your car is running. Well thats just my thoughts and opinions...Matt
