#66934, "Some questions about turbos."




          

Ok, this is not really important (I think it's not important)
But I just want to know the answer.
I have a 16G turbo, and it has 4 holes in the center, 2 for oil in/out, and the other 2 is for water cool in/out.

And I been running my turbo without hooking up the water cool in/out at all (only installed the oil), is that ok?

Do I have to get the water in/out done on the 16G?
If I do install them, will it benefit?

Thanks all.
I did search on how to modify the coolant hose to redirect the coolant to the turbo, but I just wanna know if it's neccessary or better for the turbo or other means of improvement!

THanks.
Gil

Putting water lines could extend the life of a turbocharger and could also eliminate the need for an turbo timer

but most turbos could also live without water lines

if you want to connect water line a nice place to splice is on the return line of the heater core that goes just aove the turbomanifold and you put your return on the lower hose

AFAIK hahn doesn't provide water lines even if the 16g is made to be watercooled

If they do it now it's a recent modification of their kit content
