this is how my hose from the turbo to the header tank used to look. i think samco did it this way to replace the type that you have that goes over the rocker cover. you can see it coming from the turbo then going along under the slam panel then round to the header tank. then it was just a case of cutting the right bit of the pipe to go on the turbo cooler

There seem to be quite a few opinions on water cooling for the turbo.
Some are saying that you don't even need water cooling on a T3x turbo even on a track car, some say leave it on as standard and others are opting for a turbo cooler?
Is it more for the benefit of keeping your coolant temps down ( where you are using the coolant to cool the turbo ) or for extending the turbo life?

throw the stainless one in the bin, and use a 4x4 hose, which is then cut in two pieces
