Default Water lines really needed or not?

I was searching for a thread in regards to the ihi rb5 turbo from a probe or mx6 etc. I didnt find anything or if i reposted something that could have been found sorry. I am just excited turbo kit is going on tomorrow and i just wanted to know if you had to run the water lines or can you just run the oil lines this turbo will be seeing a turbo timer. So we wont be cooking the turbo anytime soon but i live in hot *** arizona so i would think that maybe doing the water lines would be a good idea. Just wanted to know if its needed or will the oil be enough to cool the turbo. its only a cupple of lines and also any threads to how the water lines are run would be great. I have a pretty good idead on maybed were to run them but just want to make sure everything goes down right. Thanks Home made Turbo your my hero

you dont have to run the coolant lines if you dont want too

if you want to run the coolant lines you disconnect the coolant line going from the head to the intake manifold, take a coolant line from the head to turbo, then from turbo to intake manifold

I'd use them, i've ran some without and it feels better to have them on there and for the sake of two lines its worth it
