using coolant or not

i'm looking at my oil and coolant cooled t3, and i'm wondering if i would just be able to not use the coolant and still have it run efficiently. anyone ever tried this, or am i bein a dumbass ------- nOOb? ::)

Re:using coolant or not

Nope your turbo will be fine without running coolant to it. Just be sure to let it idle a little longer (a few minutes) if you've been boosting before you shut it off. Or get a turbo timer.
