How to I tap into the coolant to run it through my turbo. the connections on the turbo are about half inch pipe while the coolant lines running to my radiator are about and inch or more... If there is anymore solutions please let me know. Thanx

Use the lines running to the heater core. There are two lines that pass through the firewall behind the motor, you can tap these.

better yet if you are lucky enough to live in a place where it never drops far below freezing you can do away with the throttle body heater and extend those coolant lines to work. That way you can cool the turbo, and keep from heating up the intake system with coolant that causes a minor power loss. Sounds like a win/win situation to me.
