Coolant nipple on rear housing for turbo feed/return?
Has anyone used the rear coolant nipple located on the passenger side of the rear housing for the turbo coolant feed or return line?

Pro's/Con's?

I guess the first question would be "Why would you want to?" The stock turbo coolant lines are in a pretty nice (accessible) place for a single.

If that's the TB supply nipple back there, then the benefit as a turbo supply would be more flow and better cooling at idle/cool down (stock set-up has NO forced flow during hot idle). But make sure it's a least as larger a line.

The stock water pump housing and thermostat housing are going bye bye. So I need to get coolant from somewhere or will have to tap another line.

Does the turbo coolant feed line need a washer?
