Default Water Cool Wastgate

I have a TIAL wastegate and it has water in and out to water cool it. I know they say you dont have to water cool it but I would like to anyway.



Has anyone water cooled their wastegate and how did you do it?



Like where did you feed and drain the wastegate from the cooling system.



Pictures of where you tapped into would be great.

This is the first I've heard of this (been out of the game for a while). I'm severely dissapointed in TiAl.





If they're going to start doing gimmicky crap like this, then I'll have to sell my 44mm and go to a Synapse to match my bov.







I suppose I should answer the actual question.... Most cool the turbo using the water lines behind the head to the throttle body. You could use the same. Do a search on the throttle body coolant lines.
