I know them feels

Yea exactly. After the water pump is off the thermal affects will continue to pull coolant through the turbo if your supply port is lower than your return port.

Do you know if your lines are rated for vacuum? A lot of braided lines aren't, might not be a bad idea to check with a mitty vac.

Hmmmm, that does sound like a good idea. I'll check on that to see if it has that capability. I've also thought about getting a turbo speed sensor.

I've thought about redoing the manifold, maybe in Schedule 40 next time and more evenly like yours and to fix the slant (the current mani has a 5 degree slant down towards the front of the car), but with the way this turbo is made I'm not sure I'd have much luck. If I do though, I'm going to see if I can get enough room to use either hard lines or AN.

OK I think my turbo has good thermal siphoning then.

I have no idea if they're rated for vacuum, I didn't even think to check.
