water coolant size?

What size are the water coolant inlets that plug into the turbo? Also which holes is the water inlet and the water return (dont flame on me, I know where the oil return and inlets are!), or does it matter? A pic also would be great...

They don't PLUG into the turbo, they thread into the turbo and are called banjo fittings. The fittings (bolts) themselves are hollow through the threaded section and two holes at the top. They fit into the banjo section, use a 17mm head and a M12 1.25 thread pitch.

^ not the IHI RHB5 VJ11 fittings.

EDIT: the top is inlet, the bottom outlet.

ohh aight, is there any possible way those could be made, or can I pick them up in a hardware store? If not anyone have some for sale... Sorry for the newbe questions, but its my first time working with a water cooled turbo.

What's wrong with yours? If you really need them PM me for some used ones.

Stock turbo as in RHB5 VJ11? You mentioned "the turbo" but you then said that you bought it. Just trying to see that we're on the same page as I gave you specs for the stocker.
