like i suggested on fb i would use the coolant hoses that supply the oil cooler on to the turbo

See I wreckon by the sound of it, its a bit like the way that vw run the oil cooler as part of the block loop where coolant runs from the head out to the back of the water pump and the oil cooler runs in parallel with this pipe running head to pump (the block loop). So maybe do something like that, run it as part of a parallel pipe that runs head to block as then that way water should flow through it but wont restrict the flow of the system.That certainlly does look like a huge turbo! the one I am thinking of putting on a 1.6NA is about half the size!
1 the turbo I'm using is a Mitsubishi turbo. It is not a t3 and not even close in size. Doesn't use the same cartridge wheels housings nothing is the same but the bolt pattern.2 since I know about dodges i will speak on behalf of what I know about them. They Are all oil and water fed from the 80s to the present and any time the turbo is colder the better. None of them that I know of have any pump to circulate the coolant when you shut it off. I'm unsure about the holsets on the cummins but I know all the cars are water cooled. Even the vnts on the dodge cars was water cooled 3 it is a teo4 not the tdo4 the td04 Came on the Mitsubishi cars i believe the one I'm using is off of a dodge. And I believe but could be wrong that the te04 is a tiny bit smaller.
thats not a TD04H, thats a T3...that one is going to be REALLY LAGGY..the TD04H has alot smaller specs than that BIG T3..even the T3 that came stock on these cars had smaller specs to it than this one.. your not running that t3 are you?and like i said before, i would not even hook up water cooling unless you are going to have the proper after run pump to keep the coolant from boiling in the turbo after you shut the car off..everything ive seen with water cooled turbos has a pump that keeps the coolant circulating for a period after the engine is shut off..
