Water hook up on GTX

[AzPsd55]

I was wondering if the top line coming from the water pump to the heater core is the right one to put the incoming water to the turbo. And the bottom line coming from the heater core to the motor would work as the return line.

If not which way should I rout it, I don't want to mess up lines I'm having made
Thx,

I think thats how we did vanderchevy18's...it was a few months back so my memory is a bit foggy. Hopefully someone else with a better memory will chime in LOL

Here you can see how mine is hooked up.

The hose coming across the HPOP come from the back of the turbo and goes to the water pump. The hose also has some heat wrap close to the turbo as a precaution.
Hope this helps

So you have yours running backwards from what i thuoght, or does your's enter the back of the turbo and out of the front?

Flow needs to be from bottom to top but the actual main cooling which comes at shut down is via thermal syphoning.

I understand that cooling is happening after shut down, and is critical then. I just didn't want to get it hooked up backwards.
But after a little research, I found that the line coming from the block to the heater core is the cold line I need to tap in. And the line coming from the heater core to the top of the water pump is the return.

Again thx for your help guys

Yeah I went from the cold line to the back and the hot line to the front with the turbo turned toward the back so the cold line enters below the warm line.

I have to remember this. Might be getting a GTX also.

That is correct according to the Garrett white paper on it. I linked it in another thread awhile back. Here it is and a good read IMO: Garrett_White_Paper_01_Water_Cooling PDF
