that will be fine. I'm not running any water lines with mine either. Just make sure you leave the car running for a little while once parked or get a turbo timer so you don't get oil buildup in the turbo.

Pretty much what he said.

There was a thread 5 or 6 weeks back about what to fill in the water passage spot. Some people use dirt, other people use chewing tobacco.

You *might* want to consider maybe a cheap oil cooler to run, but this really depends on how hard you're running the car. Isn't this going on the dodge?

Not necessary but why not fill it with something that will cool better then just air? Your call
