im running a bw s366 and since i dont use the coolant for the turbo, what do i do with the coolant ports that would go into the turbo?

should i loop it or block it off? if i block it off? what is the RIGHT way of doing it?

Air hammer/drill/whatever is easiest for you, the fittings/nipples out, and tap the holes, then thread in whatever type of bolt you want. Keep in mind of you ever plan to run a different turbo that has coolant lines, you'll want to tap the holes with the same thread pitch as AN fittings. That's what I did.

You can do a loop line if you have the room for it. I normally just use some 8an stainless braided line with a bolt in at the end. If you use regular rubber nipple covers they'll end up cracking and blowing out before the end of the season leaving you stranded somewhere. The braided hose holds up excellent! I've been using the same ones on one car for over 4 years now.

The BEST way to do it is take off the housing and remove the steel insert and weld the holes shut. This is only a good idea if you're sure you wont be using a water cooled turbo in the future... good luck!
