Why don't you want to use them? Its not that hard to use the water lines, your turbo will last longer

I would use the water lines. It helps cool the turbo and like said above it will last longer. I got this ghetto dd and it has this volvo turbo on it and I left the waterlines off, but I don't care if it messes up, but I do have a timer.

Mitsubishi Heavy Ind. incorporated the cooling for OEM warrantied longevity and the fact that cars weren't equipped with turbo timers from the factory. Treat the turbo right and you don't need the coolant lines.
