If you have no water feeds through the core then you've probably got a Series 1 turbo. Just use a small length of hose with a bolt or similar clamped into the end on the radiator stub to block it off. You'll need to do the same to the top hose. Alternatively, you could link the 2, but thats not necessary.
Personally, I'd use a water-cooled turbo, but if yours really has no feeds, theres your answer.
