Still confused...your turbo doesnt use coolant...it uses oil that gets routed to/from oil pressure sender/ the oil pan

whats wrong with a water cooled turbo? easiest place is to tap into the coolant line in the throttle body. just pop off the hose to the tb, replace it with a longer one to the turbo, then send it back to the throttle body.

turbos are never JUST water cooled, you need the oil for lubrication as well....
