water cooling

Re:water cooling
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 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...

Re:water cooling
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...
