The slash cut would be positioned depending on coolant travel, so one side sucks and the other side pushes coolant.
This would be a very simple feed/return system and would work great.

I dont see why it wouldn't, the void of air in the turbo would help with water coming in and the venturi effect on the return side would help suck it back down in theory. weather it works or not I'm not sure but I'll find out.
EDIT:
If you think about this, the product you have picks up water from the returning coolant that is going to the rad, having the water picked up from the bottom rad hose would be more benefical for the turbo because the water is now much cooler. now I bet the turbo doesn't care what the water temp is because even boiling water would help cool it down, especially when its glowing red hot.
The tricky part is generating enough pressure pre thermostat to pump that water to the turbo. so this is what I though. what if you develop a product that uses the intake manifold coolant port that feeds the IACV, this would be re-routed back to the turbo and then from the turbo you'd have a spliced rad hose that would take the returning liquid back to get cooled off.
In either case, because you have 2 open sources. You're always going to get some water movement.

nice hurry up with the B series one. I had to sacrifice my coolant bleeder to run my temperature sender, so it would be nice to have one of these plates
$25-$30 is a great price
