Ugly water neck. Alternative coolant source for turbo?
I do not like the water neck on the front of the engine. I have a reroute so I would like to pull the neck and put a freeze plug in the head.
Thing is though, I am using one of the bungs on the neck as a coolant return from the turbo. The coolant feed is on the water pump outlet pipe.
What would be a good water return location? Should I just tap another bung into the water pump outlet pipe? I'm not sure that would flow properly though..

LOL @ Faeflyper.
If you're eliminating the water neck just take the line that would go to the water neck from the TB and feed your turbo with that. Then put the return where the other side of the water neck goes - to the water pump inlet. You're basically substituting the turbo for the water neck.
