I would like to some pics of anyones setup that is using a water cooled DSM turbo.. I am trying to figure out how im going to attatch my coolant lines to the turbo.. I know that from the factory it used banjo fittings going to a rubber line.. I have the banjo bolts, but not the fittings.. I was looking at buying banjo fittings with barbs and attatching rubber hose. But the biggest i could find was for 5/16 hose. That seemed kinda small to me. So any help or sugestions would be apreciated. The coolant inlet and outlet on the turbo are 12mm x 1

The lines that you tie into at the coolant neck are 5/16". If you are interested I can get you stainless hard lines for your application, or just some hose to route after the banjo bolts.

Agreed, the water lines don't have to be that big.
I've got a DSM T25 that I'm running. I'm using the original factory hardlines that are about 6-7" long each (connected by banjo's to the turbo)... and then hose to the water connections. I'm at work now, but will try and post pics within the hour and I'll be sure to incude the hose diameter that I'm using.

i think what i really need is a fitting that is 12mmX1.25 on one end, and 5/16 or bigger barbed on the other end... then i can just attatch the water line to that... anyone know where i can get that?

The hose I'm using is 3/8. You could get away with 5/16 at the block, it'll fit on with a little persuasion, but 3/8 and hose clamp is the ticket.
You can see one side of the turbo, and then the other side where the lines connect. You'll notice the DSM compressor housing gets in the way a little, and I had to bend the hard-lines to get them where I wanted... but that's the best bet.
The pink circles indicate hose clamps.
