I would only use the Toyota for life coolant which is red in colour.

From experience seeing inside engines and other plumbing from various gt4's, the ones with the red forlife have very little corrosion. Anything else looks like it's been at the bottom of the sea for a decade.

If you can, wait for forlife. If not, blue is probably better than tap water but I would flush & change it ASAP.

Yes the same stuff goes in the engine as in the chargecooler.

Also echo Chris's comments - use the red unless no other option.
