    just thinking if i just t piece the turbo coolant off the 2 heater hose lines will there be enough coolant travel to the turbo with the heater turned on or will it just bypass the turbo lines completely and just flow through the heater core??

    If you plumb it in from the return line to the engine there shouldn't be too many problems

    Water will flow anyway it can.. And then make its own way

    It should be fine either way.. Its not going to just "jump" over the T peice to the turbo. As long as it has a vacuum on the other side it will go to it

    Yes.

    Though have the return from your turbo plumbed back in AFTER the heater tap. Otherwise when you shut the heater tap you get no flow through your turbo either.

    most nissan engines have the coolant going back into the block

    alot of engines have a grub screw in the block that goes into a coolant gallery, remove that and put a fitting there.

    i replaced a turbo on a car during the week and the FEED for the coolant came from the thermostat housing, the RETURN went to the block
