I have a turbonetics kit and recently discovered it's a water cooled turbo. From what I've read is people are using their throttle body return line. I would imagine we need to use high temp braided line. What types of lines/fittings are people using and where are they getting them?

 

did the kit not come with lines for the water cooling??

but yeah just bypass the throttle body and run those lines to the turbo, it should have fittings on the turbo. IDK if they would be AN for a braided line, or just brabed so you can runner heater line to it

 

Correct there are no water cooling lines. The turbo has 2 threaded inlet and outlet ports. I believe I need to use banjo style fittings, and I'm wondering if SS is a necessity and what adapters, lines, etc people are using. Do you believe I could use banjo fittings with barbed ends and standard heater hose?

 

if you got it new, you should contact the vendor or turbonetics.. you can use regular coolant lines but SS would be nice... most use -6 an fittings for water cooled turbo not sure bout turbonetics

 

I got it in the For Sale section and I didn't know it was water cooled. I just emailed turbonetics maybe they can be of some help.

 

its probably -6 an, if not and it is a banjo fitting thats needed, a barbed banjo fitting and some heater hose or silicone hose will work fine

 

Thanks Blue I'll see if I can't find a barbed banjo fitting that will work at a local store.

 

Turbonetics sell a complete braided kit for the tc. It connects to the heater hoses and sells for 100 bucks. A bit pricey but really nice.
