ok i have a 60 trim ball bearing turbo that has coolant lines on it..do i have to use the coolant line or can i just run the turbo and say **** the coolant lines and the turbo not take a **** on me?

 

i dont have the coolant on my gt30 and dont have any problems

 

well i guess ill try it then..maybe ill get lucky

 

Turbos that have the oil and coolant lines use the water for cooling the core in applications where people don't use a turbo timer or do a proper cool down after driving hard.

 

is there a kit i can buy to make the turbo water cooled? where can i get it?

 

or i guess i should say..hook up the water cooler ports

 

B&R sells some fittings and everythign, if you want to cheap out i have the reg fittings for the turbo and all you would need to do is buy lines pm me if your interested

 

if you have a new turbo and want to keep the warranty on it then you have to water cool it or Garret will not warranty it.

You can build the water lines youself, all you need to do is go to a performance shop and find the proper sized fittings and water lines to run to the turbo. I got my water coolant lines from Peakboost when I got my turbo kit but they are easy to make yourself.

 

lol there isnt a performance shop around here...where do i run the coolant lines to? radiator?

 

Contact http://www.atpturbo.com. Check their GT Ball-bearing parts area of the catalog.

Running the GT30R w/o water is a dangerous risk in the long run. It is not by any means endorsed or recommended.

 

ya, say **** the coolant lines, drive it for a few weeks (if your lucky) then congrats! you learned how to fry a turbo =]

what im trying to say is, if there is a spot for coolant/oil lines. they are most likely there for a reason. dint take the easy way. its usually the more expensive way in the long run.

 

oh ill have my oil lines hooked up..just wanna make sure i NEED the coolant lines..
