Turbo Coolant Lines, Required or Optional? Options

[elvasoshexai]

i was just talking to my friend last night about the extra coolant to/from the turbo...

how many people running turbo setups use these extra coolant lines and how many people just use oil?

my friend was saying he (and a bunch of people on vortex) only use oil...

i didn't see anything about it in manny's build diary... but i saw a post on celicatech or something where he had coolant lines to/from the turbo?

so i was just wondering what some people here would recommend

thanks

we need the coolant lines for the 5sfte. we run both oil and coolant lines.

if the turbo has coolant jackets might as well use them. some turbos are only oil cooled but they are made to be. so im not sure how "safe" it is, maybe shortening the life of the turbo a little. nothing drastic.

In the grand scheme of things, the custom oil and water feeds are a very simple and relatively inexpensive part of the project. Seems a little strange to try to remove a cooling solution when it is very easy and cheap to implement.

toyota put the water jacket on the ct-26 for a reason.
use it.
