I have a garrett gt3076 on a front facing manifold and im trying to figure out where to get the feed and return for coolant. oil i know how but the coolant i cant figure out. i read about bypassing the tb but i live in NY and dont know if thats a good idea. also heard of the oil cooler but idk how that will work. does anyone have a solid way of doing it without custom welding, im doing this in my driveway. also does it matter which is the return or feed, or are they both the same? thanks

 

You cant actually see where it goes, but you know:

 

If you decide to upgrade your radiator at any point here is another option.

 

ill prob do that, so does it matter which is feed and return? and what size hoses are those? thanks

 

Yes!

Coolant feed will be the LOWEST port on the turbo

Be sure to clock the turbo a bit (10/20 degrees) so the coolant outlet will be aiming upwards.

And get some hoses that WONT melt! Mine once transformed into concrete and bursted open.

 

thanks for the info so far guys!! so if i relocate my oil filter do i deleate the stock oil cooler? cause then i guess ill use those lines, or if i use the throttle body heating is there a way to run the turbo in series with it? or does the t/b heating get bypassed? living in ny i dont know if the t/b will freeze in winter

 

Coolant line routing should be pretty easy. Coolant line coming off intake manifold -> lower coolant port -> upper coolant port -> TB or just bypass the TB. I'd just bypass the TB, it won't have any ill effects.

Oil cooler is up2 you. You can delete it, leave it, or delete it and get another oil cooler (probably the best option).

 

so they say have the water outlet above the inlet, weird, that seems like it would hurt flow

 

I think that may help to keep air out of the cooling system?

 

If you're relocating the oil filter you eliminate the stock cooler/heater. The coolant lines have to run somewhere, so why not through your turbo. And yes, heat resistant piping is key. I used extended metal fittings on the turbo in/out ports to move the lines away from the turbo.
