single journal bearing turbo waterpipe cleanup question

[ogre]

For those people who convert to a single journal bearing dry turbo with no water going into it. what do you do about this water pipe , I have seen were it is ran directly to the water pump thru the 2nd picture port on the rear housing, but I want to know what other people do as well? Is it safe to plug it on both side or does the waterpump need that coolant to be bypassing the main waterpipe?

Run a hose directly from the waterpipe on the left

to the water pipe on the waterpump housing.

As a rule, you don't want to block off anything that coolant normally runs through unless you know for a fact it doesn't matter.

Loop it. Driftmotion makes a kit for the 7M, and I'm sure they have a solution for the JZ's, PM Aaron.
