Precision had a small line kit they sold for this a few years back. You should run one line high into the top of the radiator if possible with the other line low off the engine.

when i had gt35r's, i tapped into the heater hoses and ran -6 braided lines to the turbo's. It worked great for me. Best of luck.

APS recommends to run to the boss in the middle of the side of the block and then the coolant passage in the head.

The reason the lines should work better with one low and one high is the water will move when the engine is off helping cool the scroll section when the heat soak starts trying to burn/coke the oil in the bearings.
