T2 water cooled plumbing
Turbo Mini Forums

does anyone run their coolant pipes to the turbo from the heater take off? My heater is going anyway and i would like to maintain the flow across the head. Im thinking of returning back to the bottom hose somewhere, does anyone have a setup like this or tried anything different?
cheers Louis.

Mine's in line after the heater. If the heater was removed it would just be between the heater take off on the end of the head and the bottom hose.

so phil does that mean that if you have your heater valve shut like on a hot day to stop the hot air from your heaters that you get no coolant to the turbo? or have i misread?

also isnt the water only there to stop you cooking the oil still in the turbo on a hot shutdown, or are there other benifits?

I don't have a heater valve, it's just a pipe, so permanently open. The water just helps to keep the Turbo core cooler.

Thanks phil i am going to do the same minus the heater and go to the heater return on the bottom pipe sorted :)

I put a block where a pipe comes out under the heathertap. So the turbo is always cooled and i still can use the heather. The return goes the bottomhose near the waterpump.

there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.
