Where to tap cooling line from?

Might sound stupid for someone who almost complete his turbo, but where the @$@# are you getting your coolan line from and back to ?

I don't feel confortable drilling in the rad at all !

so where should it pickup and where should it go back to ?

Thanks

you have small lines off your throttle body, you can simply cut one of them, and make a complete loop from the t-body, to the turbo and back.. (inline)

Jeff... I don't have any line going to the throttle body having coolant in it ! Maybe I am wrong, but there is only vacuum line down there...

Thanks

No, your throttle body has a mechanical idle air control controller that has coolant running through it. Then it goes to the eletronic idle air control valve on the back of the intake manifold.

Interrupt the lin going into the mechanical idle air control valve underneath of your throttle body, run it your turbo, then run it back to the mechanical IAC..

Should be that easy.. Use some fuel hose from O'Reilly's and some hose clamps..

jesus, you can go anywhere off the intake manifold, the IACV off the back if you want.. but you do have coolant lines on the bottom of the t-body.
