I'm in the process of installing my turbo and need help with installing the turbo coolant lines.

1. Does anyone know if the turbo inlet/outlet for coolant works both ways? it looks like its the same and inlet/outlet on turbo can be swapped...if not, how can i tell which is in and which is out?

2. Since i'm running an oil relocation kit, i've looped/rerouted the factory oil cooler lines with an 8" hose. I'm thinking about running the in and out lines using the outlet near the bleeder and the throttlebody since i can use the same diameter hoses. is this ok and would it provide enough coolant for the turbo without causing the coolant to heat up the manifold?

thanks for helping.

 

1) No in or out on turbo cartridge, either way

2) I was advised to use the oiler cooler line out of block to feed the
turbo and use the other oil cooler line for the return.

Bump

 

I did the same. Removed the stock oil cooler and used the lines with reducers to cool the turbo. Works great.

 

I am about to fix my lines, also from the oil cooler.
The rubber lines kept blowing off wile I was tooling down the road.
I am going to be going from the turbo to the radiator instead of reusing the line that goes across the front of the engine back to the water pump. I will just plug the line off at the pump and remove the hard line.
sense I do not know how to weld and don't know any one that dose I thought about unthreading the bung on the side of the block cut off the nipple and tape it and the radiator with a 1/4 NPT and use 1/4 NPT to 6 AN fittings
the turbo needs two 14 MM 1.5 pitch to 6 AN fittings and then all I need are two 6 AN 90 degree and two strait 6 AN fittings and about 6 feet of the braided line and that will hopefully fix the problem for good.
