Turbo water line routing
Running a street port s5 13bt with a TDX61 in a s3 1st gen, bit confused as to how to run the water lines.
Prior to the new set up, turbo was getting supplied by the right side heater hose from the fire-wall, and returning to the lower water pump inlet.
I'm tossing up between doing it this way again, or running supply from under the thermostat, and return to lower water pump inlet again.
Unless there are better ways??
How are you guys plumbing your turbo water on your pollution deleted upgraded turbos??

Nipple on rear iron to back of water pump housing?
Is there no chance of just using the stock path? From the lower intake manifold flange to the nipple on the water pump housing inlet?

talking head
it has been suggested several times in threads raised by the OP on multiple forums
.. the stock turbo coolant path's kickback loop and the advantages of pressure drop and passive flow after shut down and the alternate path has been discussed ad nauseum in many older threads and forums dating back many years
if the OP bothered to search at either forum then he would have found all the discussion and many diagrams and worked out we are still here ..doing that .. so it must work

I would have thought it a pretty common question, but apparently not. You could have just told me what key words i should be using. But never mind.
I might see if i can download an FSM or something and look into it further.
So thanks once again for the helpful advice and kind words Bumpstart, as always, you are a gentleman and a scholar
Please feel free to delete this thread and the other one if it annoys you.
Love, WANKfactor.
