turbo setup question

where are you turbo peeps running your water from and to? I have it all figured up for the oil setup, but Im not sure where you take water from, and where it will drain too. I was thinking taking it from the cylinder head, but that water is already hot, and draining to the bottom of the radiator, but then im putting hot water into the "cool" side of the system.

thanks

Why are you messing with water? Are you using a liquid intercooler?

I have my water lines blocked off, but you can use one of the heater hoses. I don't remember which one as I only glanced at the Maxima diagram.

Nope, don't have to use the passages.

Makes plumbing easier and cleaner.

You're welcome.

I hope you have your oil drain figured out better than your water drain.

one more question for turbo peeps tho. Where did you put your turbo? I already have mine setup to go sideways (intake side up) where the old air duct and white box used to be. I was originally gonna weld up stainless and connect it to the existing manifold, but where i was gonna bring it is blocked by the damn motormount! So now I have to make a whole new manifold for the front side of the engine (which isnt THAT hard, but is a pain in the ***). I have heard of some people saying that they relocated the battery to the trunk to fit theirs, but I dont see this problem. Was just wondering how others did or are doing theres.
