   Okay I plan on putting my turbo on in the next week or two, but could I use the vts top hose as a water feed for the turbo ? Has anyone ever done this ?

   Not the best idea, as when the thermostat is shut theres no water flow to that. Choose a feed from behind the the thermostat.

   That's a very good point, if I took it from the hose which goes to the bottom of the stat housing, where would I Plumb the return into ?

   probably the bottom hose or rear engine water housing so it flows.
