yes, you want to take every needed precaution running that turbo. Be sure to run the water lines and correct restrictor

you don't NEED to. but definitely get some hooked up sooner or later your turbo will love you back. and also i found out that my gt28 has a built in restrictor and i believe all of the GT series does so no need for a restrictor. i can post a pic of the inlet nipple if you guys would like.

For the GT35R, YES, run the water lines. On the ball-bearing systems, there is still a lot of friction in the CHRA and the water lines dissapate that additional heat, allowing oil to perform its main purpose; lubrication.

The correct restrictor is .035" to use with this turbo. Yes, you must run this additional restrictor with your turbocharger.

yes some people have done that. you could could install a fitting in the drain bolt hole to avoid welding if you wanted.

here is a great thread on water lines. https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...hlight=coolant
