Advantage: Keeps turbo much cooler with oil/coolant going in.... can handle shutoff w/o turbo timer really well (still not recommened), will more then likely give your turbo a longer self life.

Disadvantages... if you setup yourself or have a moron set it up.. and don't make sure the coolant lines are nice and clamped down it can possibly promote leaking coolant.... like I said this is if its not setup right the first time..

Its basically nothing but good for your turbo... mines setup running oil/coolant and I think it loves me... it screams like its having an orgasm everytime I hit 3grand... then after it pulls me like a bat out of hell :D

also a fan of water-cooled center section. Plus it gives you and excuse to bypass the throttle-body.

the water-cooled center-section is an option. t3/t4's come in both flavors.

Mine is, although I didn't notice until recently. I've been running with just oil for almost 2 years, time to get that coolant hooked up...
