I have removed my twin turbo setup plus all the redundant pipes, solenoids etc. The T78 is in on trial fit, all looks good apart from coolant feed pipe to heater. This is to close for my liking. I was thinking of removing this and using the supply that used to go to the throttle body to feed the heater? I have not checked this for correct flow direction yet.
I was hoping for some feedback as I know some of you guys out there have the same turbo.

iv tryd that,all i get is You do not have permission to access this page,
We cut the metal coolant hose, around the servo area and then extend the rubber hose to loop it in a more appropriate way. remeber to heat prooof it though, to protect it from the exhaust side of the turbo.
Also when we do single installs, we lose the throttle body coolant line all together, and just run the hose fromthe back of the rear endplate straight to the thermostat housing.
Ok I had also had thoughts on cutting the metal pipe in the same area, then routing a rubber hose in the same maner you discribed.
With regards to throttle body coolant supply pipe, If not used to supply heater I was just going to plug the pipe that exits rear plate and the return at thermostat housing. Is there a reason for not doing this and using a connecting hose, or this just your preference.
