Couple questions about 14b
Do I have to plug the coolant lines if I am not using them? Will the original banjo bolts be sufficient or will they not screw in far enough?
Also, does that vacuum line fitting (I guess it's a vacuum line) on the wastegate thingy need to be hooked up?
Thanks.

Unless the turbo is ------- mint, ---- the lines. But if it's going to be used for any decent length of time, I suggest running the coolant lines, or getting a turbo timer, otherwise the turbo will eventually get coked up, and I don't mean higher than a kite coked up either.

Re: Couple questions about 14b
As far as cooling or a turbo timer, I babysit it for a few minutes when I get where I am going (Homemade turbo timer); I was more worried about trash getting in there. But if it's no big deal I guess I won't worry about it unless you guys tell me it's necessary.
Also, I have been running my other 14b for about 6 months without that vacuum line hooked up and it seemed to be gating where it should have been, but I'll hook it up now I guess.
