Question about water cooled turbos? Has anyone used the "throttle body coolant line" to supply water to a water cooled turbo? If not, what do you use to supply the water, or do you just cap it off at the CHRA?
Thanks,
Dave

I have been wondering the same thing! 
Where do you get the water from?

There is a port on the side of the engine block that can be tapped into.
Incons are setup this way.
Unless someone beats me to it, I'll post a pic tonight.

Thanks Frank. that'd be great! If it's good for the incons, it's good for me. I'm just looking for any easy and reliable way to get water to a turbo. The last thing I need to dump all my coolant setting in rush hour traffic.
Later,
Dave
