   Currently doing a turbo conversion, am running a GT28R turbo, the turbo is watercooled. Wondering where is the best place to put the water feed and return pipes to, was thinking the main coolant hose itself??
   
   Any VTR turbo owners have any pictures or suggestions of where to take the feed and the return pipes from???

   Get the top hose from a S1 rallye or VTS with the oil cooler pipes and just use them as you wont have that weird oil cooler setup, beauty of that is the pipes go towards the the turbo aswell so minimal work needed
