where do you pull coolant from on a rotary for a turbo? On my other car it was plumbed from the head it's self, seeing as how rotarys don't quite have a head I have the feeling this wont work the same way!

Any coolant source...
The factory turbo 13Bs have plumbing already as mentioned above.
On the NA engines there is a convenient nipple on the rear iron and rear of the water pump housing.

I blocked off my coolant lines because I only have an oil-cooled aftermarket turbo. But here's the question--if I remember correctly the coolant feed is a hardline that is connected to a flange on the motor, correct? Given that there is a flange (as opposed to a threaded fitting like oil feed), how do you use that on an aftermarket turbo? Is there a fitting or flange that you can buy to connect to 6AN lines?
Coolant return is barbed, so that seems straightforward enough.
