This topic is finding out which one is more efficient.. going with water or oil cooled...

Tell me is this true..

"I heard that water cooled is more efficient than oil cooled, but it is a big pain to install..."

Also, say your opinion..

Thanks

Well if you think about it all turbo's are oil cooled. They all have oil running through them. But yes some turbos do have water jackets around the bearing to cool it down. The turbo in my car is water cooled.

Have you noticed all the hose on the right, left, above and under
the manifold ?

it's not that hard at all to put water cooled on our cars all the hoses that we need to tap into are everywhere around the turbo

watercooled versus oil cooled eh........wel, try this. run your turbo without water lines for a few days, but continue to run oil to it, then disconnect your oil lines and hook up water lines. see what happens ;)

in case you havent' figured it out......that isn't the brightest thing to do. don't do it. I was being extremely mean because that question is kinda bad. you should have asked "should I ,and under what conditoins should I hook up water cooling lines to my turbo"
