So I installed my turbo..its a Pulsar T28 Turbo and I decided to not install the coolant lines.."several reasons" but back to the subject... I found the Coolant hole on the block below the Exhaust Manifold and I plugged it... I think I also found the other hose to the other side of the block the feed line... Should I Block these lines or connect them together...TO by pass the turbo... thanks again

I would connect them together to maintain the stock flow of the coolant system. I have the same turbo as you and I bolted up the coolant lines to the turbo just fine. Why are you bypassing?

Connect them together. I'd still hook it up though. The only time it uses them is after the car is shut off, and as long as you let it cool off properly you're supposed to be OK. But I look at it this way, I don't really think they are that big of a deal to mess with, and if you get some braided ones they are a breeze. I figure the extra measure of protection can't hurt. Thats just my opinion though...
