If you run a 2g water pipe and water neck than you will only have one supply. On a 2g 7 bolt block the turbo get's it's water from a banjo fitting on the front of the block. On a 6 bolt it gets it from the thermostat housing. Pretty much the only way around it is to t off the thermostat housing, or drill a hole and install a new nipple on the housing.

I did, a water cooled turbo needs water. what do you use ?

Ok if i go no coolant to the turbo do i leave the lines open or do i cap them off some how ? thinking of no coolant to this small 16g since gofer did for over a year.

Do i leave the lines open or do i cap them off ? for the coolant lines ??
