yes I've been googling it but honestly I couldn't find 100% if it will work or just useless and tap into heater hose like everyone else. I do not want to bypass my throttle body coolant hoses but I am wondering if I can tap into them like run the hose that goes to the TB next to the bleeder screw to the turbo then back to where that hose was supposed to go in the throttle body? So basically motor to turbo to throttle body

Not answering your question, but when I did mine I used the freeze plug under the turbo manifold by cylinder 3, and then tapped into one of the heater hoses.

I would suggest use the heater hoses...the more coolant you have going through the turbo the cooler it will run...just do a 3 way tap into each side and run those to and from the turbo...ez!

Yeah but think how simple it would be to just run the hose straight behind motor into turbo then back with out fittings and all that just the price of the hose

Like what put a t fitting into the each heater hose coming out of the firewall which is on for feed and one for return or just run it out of the same heater hose

Kinugawa makes a stainless line kit for t25/t28 that has a barbed fittings on the end of it. I used that then put silicon jacketed lines on the end of them after it cleared the heat and plumbed them into my intake manifold.

I already have something like that except there like little elbows to run a rubber line to but still probably going to heat wrap the rubber coolant line
