Water cooled comp turbo.
Ok, first I know this topic has been beaten to death.
And I know the best way to get water to the turbo is the big plug on the driver's side head, and use a T in the heater core lin, for the return. But, since I'm in a crunch for time, and my Dyno time is booked. What's a simpler way to get water to this front mount setup? This issue is I can't get that fitting I need for the driver's side in time. So my questions are..
1- if a person was to run a tee into both heater core hoses, how will this work? I always thought coolent doesn't flow to the heater core unless you turn the heat on in the cab?
2- there's the steam vent hose from the front drivers side head, into the fitting on the radiator, would this work? Or not enough flow or pressure? Cause that would be simple.
Sorry for these questions, but the search just isn't helping.
Thanks in advance!

i had my comp turbo hooked up from that steam tube hose to turbo,from turbo to a barb i welded into my radiator right by the cap. 5k miles and no issues. if you have a stock radiator you could probably do the return to the over flow hose
