i was taking out my new turbo and checking it. had to loosen the bolts that hold the exhaust housing to the compressor side to move the compressor to the correct position for my A2A piping. now my question is looking at the turbo in between the compressor side and the exhaust side there is the part that holds them together(have no idea what its called), there are 2 exposed passages/ports exactly 180* from each other, no i can identify the ports for the oiling passages. what are these other ones. sorry no pics, left the camera at my dads shop. FYI this is a ball bearing turbo, i'm kinda comparing it to my PTE60 as reference, so i hope this helps.TIA.

Yeh like on mine you have the oil in on top and oil out on bottem, and I think coolant in on the pass. side and coolant out on drivers side.
The coolant in comes from either the front of the intake manifold or the block I cant remember.
If you need to know for sure tonight let me know and I can go look?

get lines to run the coolant look at a stock turbo they have coolant lines, the drivers side hole goes to intake plug and the passenger side hole goes to side of block down by pan. it circulates coolant to cool off those BB's.

My PT67DBB has the same thing. They are as it has been stated just water lines. No you dont HAVE to run them but its a damn good idea.

Re: PT67DBB Turbo ??

on the dual ball bearing stuff you NEED to run the water if you want it to last and be covered under warranty should anything fail. You will feed one side of the turbo from the front of the intake manifold, and return it to the pass side of the block near the starter (stock location) or anywhere water is continously flowing.

On most of the standard bearing Garret turbos, h20 center is just an option and not typically used, however on the ITS, and Garret dual ball bearing turbo you need to run water. The turbonetics single ball bearing does not require water.

i usually just make them up with braided line. some 6an fittings, and 3/8" npt adaptors. I dont have anything off the shelf for you. Just avoid using anything rubber b/c it will melt.

could i run the lines on the front of the intake manifold and to the water pump since i have an edelbrock pump with a port open that i need to plug or would it not be flowing correctly?
