Thanks Jay-M for the input. I definately want to do a clutch, but was going to hold off until the turbo is in. Maybe I'll just put THAT on my credit card. Probably gonna need one soon anyways. I got 99,000 on the tib now. I'm gonna grab those spark plugs as well. Might as well get as much done now before the big install.

tibbytib (tom),

i've sent you more info in your pm box... hopefully that helps you out

tibbytib

David, that would be great! Get me 2 sets (8 total) of the one step colder plugs. Just let me know what the grand total is with shipping. When do you think you could get them out here?

faithofadragon

lemme make sure we have them in stock and figure out shipping and ill let you know

ups ground shouldnt take more than 2 days to get to CO so...

ill let you know by tomorrow or so

tibbytib

Sounds great David.

ok, next question..........

For those of you who are running a water cooled turbo:

1. Where and how did you tap the coolant:
(I am looking to create good flow through the turbo, so keep that in mind. I dont want the coolant to just sit there. The coolant should be fed from a part of the system that is pushing/have pressure and return back to the coolant system where it will be almost pulled or have little resistence, that way the flow will be maximized. Let me know if this does not make sense.)

2. What fittings, how much hose, etc... Whatever you think I need to know about tapping into the coolant system on the Tib.

A bump for my question above. Need advice from guys running a water cooled turbo.

Thanks fing02.gif

if i remember correctly you cut your hose and use a adapter with a line to it

^^I think I've heard of that. Thats definately one possiblitiy. What I am really after is finding 2 locations of tapping into the coolant system. I want to tap into one side of the system that has higher pressure so it pushes the coolant to and threw the turbo, and another point in the cooling system that has the least pressure so the coolant will flow out of the turbo easily and efficiently. That way I get the best circulation through the turbo as possible. I dont want coolant just sitting there getting hot.

Has anyone else done this and/or thought about this in their setups?
