Default Make a turbulator?

I've been slowely piecing together a large water cooling setup revolving around a hydronic heater element. Probably end up putting it infront of a window fan.

Anyways the heater element is basically a 5' copper pipe about 1.25" in diameter with tons of aluminum fins. I understand that a turbulator would increase the radiators performance, but not really sure how to implement it. I saw this pic



and made me think about buying some bare copper wire and making some sort of spiral design thats 5' long that I can insert into the heater element. This sound like a worthy idea? Id really love some ideas on a coil design too, cant really picture anything but the design of a TC-4 water block.
