WHERE DO THE LINES HOOK UP WHAT DO I NEED TO GET? WHERE CAN I SEE THE FITTINGS AND FLANGES THAT GO INTO THE TURBO

Do it...Do it... Do it....Do it........
That would be kool....But how much more effective?
Anyone on this board have watercooled results?Powerdyne 98 a4 convert<br /><br /> stock 16.6 @ 86 <br /> <br /> 6 lbs boost 15.1 @ 90 <br /> <br /> 04 A4 2.73 geared white Corvette Coupe<br /> <br /> stock- 13.5 @ 103 <br /><br />LS6 conversion-13.1 @ 107 <br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/greenglow98\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/greenglow98</a> ( pics of intercooled powerdyne) -
I GOT 2 WATERCOOLED T3S AND I NEED THE FITTINGS, SCREW IN AND I NEED TO KNO WHERE TO TAP THE LINES AT? ANY SITES PICTURES. I LOOKED IN A FEW BOOKS BUT THEY ALL JUST MENTION WATERCOOLED TURBOS AND DONT SHOW THE HOOK UP. CAN BE RUN TEMPORARILY WITH JUST THE OIL LINES HOOKED UP TILL I FIGURE IT OUT?I pledge aliegence to the flag that sits on the front facia of my camaro and to the Mickey Thompsons that make it stand two tires under torque indivisableComment

yea, you can run it justlike a regular turbo withoutwater. itll be fine.
and you have too hook it up too the pressurized watr port somewhere and then drain it somewhere.boost, you got it???Comment

I hooked one side to one side of the throttle body warmer lines and then other side I put a T in the heater core line. The other side of the throttle body warmer is just plugged.Wayne<br />94 5 spd Camaro<br />Turbo/Intercooled<br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm</a> <br /><br />Megasquirt Stand-alone EFI controling fuel/spark w/ wideband:<br /> <a href=\"http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html</a>Comment

im pretty sure you want to have a seperate water cooling system put in if you go with that, but im not sure how much it actually cools the turbo.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhardComment

It just circulates your engine coolant through the turbo center section. Your engine coolant is way cooler than the scorching hot turbo after the car has been running a while. Think about it, the center section is directly connected to the turbine housing, you'd definatly benifit from some relitivly cool(180-220(water) vs ~500-800(exhaust at the turbine housing) water flowing through it.
Also, a water cooled turbo isn't a performance option. It's more of a longevity option. If you cool the turbo more the oil is less likly to break down as much and the over all life of the turbo will be increased. You're not going to have cooler air going into the engine because of it; at least not a big enough difference to make a difference.

Do it!
Your turbo has a coolant cavity for a reason.
Use it.
For my K03 on my 1985 - 1995 3.4 bottem 2.8 top engine I taped the intake manifold for pressurized coolant and (afterit goes through the turbo) I'll return it to the inlet of the coolant pump or top of water neck with a selector valve.
(for cold days it will send the coolant back to the pump inlet to warm up faster and on nicer days it will have to go back through the radiator before it can go into the engine).
The coolant goes around the bearing cavity and keeps gives the bearings a place to dump heat.
I set mine up for low or high coolant flow with t valve but any coolant is way better than nothing.
