Where to tap into for water cooling?

I was wondering where you can tap into for water cooling for my turbo. What kind of hose do you use? Have pics how you ran the hoses? Thanks

Re:Where to tap into for water cooling?

Sorry I did not do a search 1st. Sometimes I am lazy. But yeah should I use a "T tap" to loop it with? I will be running a 91 B18A TB on my D16Y8. It has the 2 inlets for the IACV. Does one work better then the other? Also it is very neccesary to water cool my turbo? It is both oil and water cooled? I am guessing every bit helps though. Hell I dont know I am a newbie to turbo ----.

yes it helps, and that is what the turbo was designed for.

You can tape into any of them, they all flow about the same, just make a loop and you will be fine.

Re:Where to tap into for water cooling?

what about the SS braided dishwasher hose (home depot) as COOLANT lines? Just thought of that. I saw the post a few days ago about them as oil lines (funny, too, because when I saw them @ home depot a month ago it's the first thing that went through my mind also)...

But, anyways, How hot is coolant? 200*F? My intuitions tell me it SHOULD work for that, correct? It's a bargain for steel braided anything, and hell, they are made for hot water after all, arent they??
