Im sure this has been talked about already but I didnt find much.

Where do most people draw coolant from to feed to their turbos on a M series, 2007 m8 if it makes any difference.

You can draw from the throttle body coolant lines. Most of the kits will utilize these to run coolant and then they forgo the throttle body coolant.

Where are the lines on the throttle bodies? I didnt have much time but quickly looked and didnt see them (my sled also has paper piled all in the engine bay protecting it) would they be on the bottom on the throttle bodies?

The lines come from under and behind the engine and go to the throttle bodies. They can be accessed by removing the skid plate.
