Question non water cooled turbo question

for those of you whom run non-water cooled turbos, what solution are you guys using for the coolant lines?

right now i plugged both the lines with a hose and bolt. but im still getting a slight drip here and there from the line that comes out the T-stat housing. Id really like to loop them together but not with the way the lower pipe bends.

how and pics would be great. thanks.

i cut my lower pipe off flush with the block with a small tubing cutter and then looped them from there.

The bend of the little pipes are not that big of a deal, maybe just a slightly larger loop. Worked for me:
