Alot of people only run oil cooling. Water isnt neccessary, but it may decrease your oil life.

I don't really agree with that one...Although you don't NEED water cooling it WILL make the turbo last longer, espessially if it's a daily driver. If you already have a center section that is setup for water cooling you might as well use it.

i used fuel hose,1/4" i think. more or less put the turbo inline with the hose running from ur intake manifold to under the tb.

won't the car run hoter with the water cooling line?

not enough to where ur car cant cool itself down.

I ran mine from the back of the block where there is a hose running from the back of the block up to the back of the head. (BIG 5/8 inch hoses) Out from one to the turbo, back from the turbo from the other. The car runs at exactly the same temp as it did before I put a turbo on it, even under load, it NEVER even runs warm. My radiator even has a tiny crack in it. BTW it does add about a quart more coolant to the system....but I did use really long hoses. Hey, the more coolant the better... ;D

I actually want to try this...

Where can I get a low profile banjo style fitting though? The opening in the back is really tight.

I also don't understand the comment about tapping in between the intake manifold and the throttle body. I always through those were kind of one in the same... ???
