Default constant coolant to turbos?

What is the best way to plumb coolant to a TT setup so coolant will constantly flow through the turbos? I've had it from one heater core hose to a turbo, then across to the other turbo, then back to the remaining heater hose. This doesn't seem to be doing the job cooling off the turbos so I need advice! This is a 02 WS6 with turbos by transmission. TIA!

I have mine in the heater core circuit. Doesn't seem to have any issues. How are you measuring turbo temperature?

You can tap the giant coolant plug on the back of the passenger side of the block. Then return the coolant to the front of the driver side block.

running from one turbo to the other is a very bad idea.

You need to either find a different water source, or split them into each turbo and back to the rad/header.

Going from one read hot turbo to another will likely see the water boil at the second turbo meaning it is completely pointless and will have a negative effect on the entire cooling system
