right on the throttle body there are two lines, they are right off the front of hte throttle body, one is a feed, one is a return line...you have a decision, you can take it off of the throttle body and just use that or you can tap them.

i took them off.

An ideal way of doing the watercooled setup is to clock the turbo in a way that one of the water inlet on the turbo is higher than the other, that way when the car is turned off, water on lower water line makes its way to the hot turbo and then it boils and exits the higher port, it also minimize air pocket from settling on the turbo water chamber.. mine is almost vertical or level, it should work still, i could even hear boiling water on the turbo area when the car is off
