Throttle body coolant bypass to turbo?
I'm going to be installing a Mitsubishi turbo on my car, and as far as i know it has to be watercooled. So I was thinking about running the turbo coolant lines from the throttle body coolant return to the turbo. I was telling my LS1 buddy about it, and he said that I should just bypass the throttle body completely, and just cap off the coolant fittings on the throttle body. He's got it done on his car and he says it will probably make mine run better and give possibly more power. So my question is is this a good idea or should I continue to run coolant to the throttle body and run the turbo off of the throttle body return? Will bypassing the TB hurt performance or drivability? And the million dollar question.....will it hurt the gas mileage?
Thanks for any help in advance.
