Good place to run coolant lines?

Would it be a good thing to run the coolant lines where they go to the throttle body?? I bypassed those line 2 years ago so the fittings on the pipes are unused!! Would that be a good source for coolant to and from the turbo??

yea they would work ok for turbo cooling

the orginal purpose of the lines is to heat the t.b. to stop it from freeing and sticking open so on a turbo car its problly not gona freeze unless you have a realy good intercooler and realy cold weather

You will have weird Idle on cold days un till the manifold warms up the TB.

U can probably run it from the block to the turbo back to the TB and back to the EGR (or which ever way it flows) that way u can supply the turbo and still supply the TB
