This was also my problem as I thought to opt for the same plumbing of water cooling for my turbo.
I think maybe cooling it from the inlet hose to the heater matrix by extending the inlet hose and letting it pass through the turbo first then into heater matrix as intended? Can somone confirm this?
Hi mate, Im building my own 172 cup turbo and im just wondering where and how you plumbed in and routed your water feed to the turbo?
You using the standard valeo clutch or going uprated as thats my next dilema as if i can save my self some ££££ i wont buy it.

Im not 100% sure but Im guessing bottom pipe to heater matrix is inlet and upper is outlet so i just need to T off from each one to turbo inlet and outlet?
Thanks
Do I splice into top pipe that goes to heater matrix and T-piece off into the water inlet on the turbo then splice into lower pipe and T off into water outlet on the turbo? This is the part that im abit confused about.

Ahh good, thanks fella.
Since the turbo is water cooled i wanted to try use existing cooling system to cool it. I thought that I might be able to plumb a pipe from the thermostat return line into turbo and another from turbo back to header tank? Would the flow be sufficient enough? and also...
Im building my own 172 turbo using a gt28rs and im coming near to the end of it all now, to prime my turbo am I right in the following;
squirt a little bit of oil into the oil feed and spin turbine by hand and connect oil feed up
disconnect coil pack
fuel pump relays removed
return pipe...
