is it ok to run a 14b without using coolant through it?? Totaly just leaving the bolts out and not plugging it with anything

and im not talking about going out and running a 100 runs at the track with this, just to start up my car and rev it up, maybe to a pull or two to make sure everything is running properly.

will i damage the turbo Let me know whats up guys .... thanks alot!!!

let the turbo warm up properly before boosting and cool down for a while before turning the car off.

I don't run the water lines nor do I plug them and my turbo is fine. I don't know anyone that watercools there turbo anyways.

I water cool my 14b. I just use coolant line to a SSBraid from my factory oil cooler on my block.

Its easy just use the coolant lines going to and from the TB, you don't want them there anyway
