Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Anyone plumbed in a water-cooled turbo?

I picked up a turbo that I am going to try, but it has a water-cooled center housing. I was wondering if anyone is running one and where the best place to plumb in the hoses for the inlet and outlet fittings on the turbo. Thanks.

Yep... .



I had a Garrett GT37R Stage 3 which had a water cooled center section. Garrett has a kit for doing it and making the job very easy. The water went into the heater core using the factory line from the front of the motor up top. Then it came out of the heater core and passed through the turbo and returned into the turbo at the bottom of the block below the oil filter where the factory heater return line went. They also restricted the oil line feed when the center section was water cooled which aided in spool up... ... Andy
