Default water cooled turbos

Does the turbo work better meaning spool up better with lines or without?

the lines are just there to cool down the center section (bearings).

Does using radiator fluid in your car make it work better? Besides the obvious fact it will over heat and blow up with out it. That should help answer your question.

Yeah the radiator works better than say a air cooled Porsche.

I JUST DID MAN. I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. Running water is going to do nothing for performance but if its a water cooled turbo I HIGHLY suggest you run it.

I don't thing weather your center housing is water cooled or not will affect your spool time. The water cooled section just helps extend bearing life. hope this helps
