T14PPA Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ive bought budz gt40 turbo and was wondering where is best to get the water from? I was thinking the upper waterneck. Would this be ok? If so does anyone know what fittings to get. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt it be better with an fittings and braided hose due to heat? Also the metal pipes coming off the turbo are not flared so could slip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the metal pipes coming off the turbo are not flared so could slip off the water connections on my turbo are beveld ends and made for a pipe and clip , as for safe millions of stock cars use this method and I have had it this way for a over 4 years , I just changed it the other week and it was a little brittle from the heat but no issues being its a water cooled line so it will have the water running through it to disipate the heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
