you should have an oil inlet and outlet. and then if its water cooled, you will also have an inlet and outlet for that. i've heard of people blocking of the water lines to simplify the install, but you run the risk of the turbo seizing up as well.

If you dont want to plumb for the coolant lines, then you may be better off going with a standard journal bearing turbo that is just oil fed.

Good luck with your build!

sorry, forgot to add that if you do want to run the water lines you can tap into the IAC valve.

easiest way to run water lines is by teeing off of the two lines to the heater core going into the firewall.
