Um, I've only run oil cooled turbos thus far. But I would suggest tapping into the rubber hose sections of your heater core lines. If I can find one of my engine bay pics that's easy to PS I'll show you...

Sorry, but that is pretty funny.

Ya thats funny but the way you show it idoes that mean I can remove the other pipes once I add the turbo

I wouldn't... because then you'll have no heat. I personally can deal with no AC because I'd rather have the windows down, but I'd never give up my ability to heat my air... winter is cold.

Just tee into it at both locations.

Were can you get the Tees from are can you just use coper .one more question my turbo has a large pipe on one side and a little pipe coming off the other side which one is the intake for the cooled water /the larger pipe bolts on and the small tube is about a 1/4 in or smaller and it screws on with a flared fitting

You can probally just find a brass T fitting at home depot it should work fine.

Yeah I'd go with brass hose-barb tees from any hardware store. Just make sure you measure your hose size for the correct barb fitting size. That's assuming you're just using regular rubber or silicone hose, not stainless with AN fittings. And if the water inlet and outlet ports aren't labeled, I doubt it matters which way the water flows - someone confirm that though, like I said I've only run oil cooled turbos on my car so I honestly don't know if it has to flow one way and not the other.
