Default water and oil cooled?

Hey, I got a T3/T04b turbo for my civic D16z6 and it is oil and water cooled. I only want to use the oil is there a block off that you can buy for the water? If not what can you do to only use the oil? Is that bad to not use the water cool part? This is a brand new turbo so I dont want to mess it up. Also if you have to use the water cooling part how would you hook that up?

use both, it's easy to hook up the water lines.

your turbo was DESIGNED to be both water and oil cooled.

dude ur turbo is as followed

its WATER cooled, to cool down the turbo, a turbo lives in an enviroment for exhaust gas over 1000 degrees, it has to be cooled

OIL lubricated, it has to have lubrication, and dont forget a turbo timer, so oil dont cook on the bearings
