Default Front mounted turbo vs. radiator plumbing

Locating the turbo on the passenger side frame rail and battery location. The 4" DP swings 90 off the turbo and I see that if I swing it far enough towards the drivers side that I can get some plumbing underneath it and towards the radiator. I think I need to fabricate a water neck that comes right off the pump towards the rad and should probably fabricate a solid line instead of using a rubber hose. We are trying to see if a standard aftermarket 4 core radiator can be used or if need to have the outlet changed.

I know I am not alone with the mounting of the turbo and just wanted to see what some of you guys are doing for this.

Thanks

Howard

not sure if i have any pics on hand, but i cut and turned my thermostat housing more toward the passenger side, then cut and welded some 1.5" tubing to the radiator for it.

Yeah its not a complicated fab just curious to what others where doing. More concerned with getting rid of the rubber hose and replacing it with something that can deal with the heat better.
