I'm water cooling my turbo and I have never even seen it hint at getting any warmer than usual, its there and easy to do so why not.

my heat might have had to do with low oil pressure or something, it's beeing looked at this week

StinkyFeet

no heat shouldn't affect oil pressure...
Where is you're return on your oil pan located? Is there a chance it was mounted too low.

martingouda

it's right at the top near the flange, no more than 5 from it, the hose and clamp are nearly touching it

so should i do oil lines to my rhb5 i think its gonna run like 7 lbs

No.

Im suprized you guys that hooked up your coolant lines dont have overheating problems. I didnt hook them up on my Saab t3 that I was using and still would over heat on hard runs and I was running an oil cooler. But then again I was running 12psi and loved to boost in 5th gear( ). I still say you are opening up a can of worms if you cut your coolant lines just to try and cool a used(I'm assuming that) T25. IMO that is useless.

the t25 i have on the car pulls very hard and i really am happy with it in that sence.
my only issue is the oil and coolant and it seems that the coolant spike i was talking about goes away once the system starts flowing coolant around with the thermostat open

I'm not knoking on the T25. Thast a great turbo to start with. But like I said befor, your cars cooling system wasnt designed to cool a turbo hence the "spike" in temperature. I hope where you live where it doesnt get too hot in the summer . If its "spikeing" now just waite till summer

Sounds like you have some other problem with the cooling system, the turbo has very little to do with it...sounds like you are getting pretty lean up top, that's going to make the engine get ALOT hotter than borrowing a little coolant...

The car has been gone for 2 years
