Just to clarify as it could easily be misinterpreted from that picture: the coolant feed (from the block) goes to the front (radiator side) of the CHRA; the return (to the water pipe) is on the back of the CHRA (block side). The top and bottom ports are for oil.

For reference -- yes, it has happened: P1104 wastegate soleniod fault

Ok i have all my hoses figured out except my bottom turbo hose i know were the hose from my turbo but i cant find were it goes i dont think its there. my friend that was helping me and was telling me i have to cut and plug one of my hose is this true?
 
You have a 1G block, that's why you don't have the other fitting to mate with the one you're showing us. Referencing the above diagram, the one you have that is not connected is #17. If it were a 2G block, you would have this fitting and these components in the block to connect to: 2g Block Coolant Line.

So what do i connect it to?. Or is that what my friend was trying to tell me to plug the #17 line
 
That leaves a lot of places to leak, but it would work. If you're plugging things, consider plugging the return port on the water pipe (just to the right of #7 in the diagram). Do note that by plugging anything up, either by the return port or by line #17, that you will not be water-cooling your turbo at all. Not necessarily a bad thing, more of an FYI.

The alternative is to create a feed point to provide coolant to your turbo. This can be accomplished by inserting a T in the #5 hose, branching from there to connect to #17.

ok thank you i will i just might put a t in #5 and run to #17. Also have an ecmlink for my laptop and i cant get it to connect to the car
 
Try a different USB port. U may need to select the port to read ecmlink.
I have tryed to switch them i going to try to re download the software tomorrow i dont know what else it can be im new to ecmlink. all i have done is download software and hook it up to the car is there something else i need to do

Fwiw, i ran my 5558 w no water cooling for 3k miles. Zero issues at all.
The FP black i have now also is not water cooled. Just don't run the piss outta the car and then shut if off. Give it a good 2 minutes of low load, no boost driving and that will stop any coking issues in the CHRA.
Now i'm not saying water cooling the CHRA is bad, not at all. I looked at it as unnecessary for my purposes and basically just additional failure points, i.e leaks.
I capped the line and capped the block coolant port. No problems thus far on either turbo

Instead of running the hose from the bottom of the turbo and t in the # 5 can i run the hose that goes to the bottom of the turbo to the oil pan?
 
There are 4 lines, 2 are coolant, 2 are oil. The line on the bottom of the turbo with two bolts that hold it on is the OIL drain back. This must go to the oil pan. The oil feed is on the top of the turbo. The other two are coolant line. Obviously the coolant and oil need to stay separate.

on the turbo? I have 4 ports on my turbo i took the one side port off and put a bolt in it and plugged it. The bottom feed is ran to my oil pan. on of the top ones go to my oil filter the other side of is from the engine will this work or will i run into problems? Thank you for the help
 
Yes, on the turbo. I'd be slightly concerned running coolant to your turbo and having it go nowhere. The plug you put in the side means you will have hot coolant in your turbo pretty much all the time.
 
^ Either don't run coolant to it meaning both tubes unplugged (i wouldn't advise that). Or hook up both lines. Just one seems like asking for trouble.
