I had recently been reading Boyko's build thread where he tried a few different turbos. http://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=329600 I caught a line or two about how he plumbed in his water intercooler. It made me think a bit.
A while back Gus started me looking at how we often plumb in our turbos to the same sources as our throttle body heating circuit. The more I studied that circuit the more I realized that I was putting all that turbo water heat back into the engine and not out to the cooler. I have since rerouted it and have no doubt that my engine runs way cooler. I digressed here.... back on topic.
Boyko looks like he used a hybrid circuit, same supply but two different cooling circuits to cool his intercooler. It appeared that he ran his coolant into the turbo then into his intercooler. I was wondering how that worked out.
Boyko, Did I misunderstand your routing or does the turbo not add much heat to the intercooler? I know you were running roughly 8-ish psi boost so there may not have been much heat issue anyway.
As always inquisitive and looking for the "best" mousetrap. School me man.
