Turbo center Question...
 
I have a turbonetics turbo the has 4 holes on the

center housing... right now i plugged up 2 holes and

the other 2 is the oil feed and other end is the drain.



I was wondering wat the other 2 wholes that i

covered up where. I was told that that those wholes

i can use as water cooling. is that true. is so, does

that mean i dont have to leave my car on idle that

long atfer i drive if i run a water line through it?

Right, if you don't have a turbo timer, you will have to sit and let the car idle for a bit.
It's recommended to extend the life of the turbo.

dont hook up the water.. Its just more chance of water leaking and causing trouble.. It's not neccesary... Just leave it alone and let the car cool down.

that makes zero sense...leaving it unhooked can cause that section to get very hot, but i never had a problem doing it like that

Ummmm... yeah, maybe if you're running straight H20 in your radiator and you have your car outside when it's below freezing? ??? But if you do that, you'll have bigger problems than just your turbo (motor)

Ummm...yeah dude c'mon I dont think anyone runs just plain H2O in their radiator. antifreeze duh... and its never below freezing level here, until da winter maybe. well when it does get below freezing i'll just unhook it.

Basically i just wanna know if i do, do this, i wont have to leave my car on idle after i drive/smash on it, do i?
