Default where to get water for water cooled turbos?

I'm not sure where I should source my water from. I was thinking of just putting reducing fitting on my heater core coolant lines since I took out the heater core back in the winter and now those lines are just connected to each other. any other ideas?

you could buy 20 100ft garden hoses and connect them to the turbo and turn on the water.lol i'd run the turbo water lines from the throttle body loop. but i wouldn't connect them to the throttle body.

I will like not spending money on water lines, but I don't like buying a new turbo because I burned the old one up. I already bought the lines too, and it turns out I was measuring ---- wrong because they're the wrong size, now I have to go buy new ones, you know my cheap *** is regretting that.

sorry bro, must be because I'm a dumb teenager drama queen. there is no heater core, so I might as well use the lines, eh?
