turbo cooling??? I have a TT GTO with a custom TT setup I built 4 years ago in my shop.
I am using Garrett GT3071R turbos.
I've not been feeding them with coolant all this time as I ran these on imports same way for no problem for years.
I would like to help the cooling of oil and turbine by feeding the coolant through them now but I cannot find a feed for them on my LS1.
I know for the APS kit they supply a 28x1.5toAN fitting that screws into the side of the block and returns to the passenger cyl head. I cannot find that fitting anywhere, and APS aren't much of help.
So my question is from where can I feed my turbos some coolant that's under pressure.
I thought of using the front cyl head bypass lines that go back into the top of radiator, but there's hardly any pressure.
Any help is greatly appreciated, especially with pictures.
Thanks,

Driver's side has a coolant temp sending unit, passenger is available.
I guess I should also be interested in teh direction of flow to make sure teh coolant is flowing and not just stagnant due to same pressures on inlet and return at turbos.
Coolant hose may be a possibility, ugly though.
Anyone have a link to coolant flow chart, I saw one a long time ago.

On my APS kit one line is off the pass head (plug near the rear), a second line connects both turbo's and the third line attaches to the block on the drivers side (there was a HUGE plug there). I am not positive which direction coolant flows though.
