Read this thread. I think how people do it is with Accutators and throttle springs. Try and ask some of the guys that responded to my thread that had this set up. Im not running a setup that doesnt have the electronics so I cant help alot on how to set it up.

If you look at your truck right now there is a line that comes out and runs along your exhaust manifold then goes down towards the radiator. All i did was splice into that line so now it just runs through the turbo before it goes back into the radiator.

sounds like it would work i have herd of guys tieing it to the heater core. it lets the turo have fluid and it heats the cab faster in the winter would that work?

The way I ran it is the way 90% of the guys who have done the swap have done it. Some have tee'd into the line but most just run it straight through. But if you are not going to run the controller then you dont have to worry about the coolant.
