Connect one to a pumped water source and the other back into the radiator.

If you're not using the OEM oil heater/cooler you can use the water lines to it.

Just make sure that there is some distance between where you bolt the fittings to the turbo and where rubber lines connect to it or they will get too hot and fail.

i see what you wrote, but is there a natural place to redirect it to the radiator or will i need to tap it? and is there a relatively safe place to pull from or will any source of coolant work without having any adverse effects?

I'm not even running water lines to my ball bearing precision, you don't need it IMO.
