Default Do you run your coolant lines on your turbo???

Ok, i have a t3/t4 garrett turbo.. it has two holes for the coolant..


Question is do you guys just block those off or do you actually run a coolant source to them? and if you do run a coolant source, from where and how?? The car is a 92 integra.

Thanks for all the info..

i've heard that you dont HAVE to run them, but if you do, a trick for most cars is just to use the lines that normally run through your throttle body for the supply & return...

A ton of the eclipse guys now are not running the coolant lines, unless it's a BB center cartridge. Most have been running them for over a year with no problem.
Hope this helps....

If you have it, run it! Your turbo will thank you for it, as it helps with cooling (obviously) and longevity. I'm putting it in line, in between the block and throttle body

You would be silly not to run it if your turbo has the option.
