Re:water for turbo

under throttle body, there's a hose that is around 1" OD you cut that in half and add in the lines for the turbo.

For one, I used a T into the line on the throttle body on the left.
The second was a T into the hose next to the vtec solenoid.

Re:water for turbo

How important is it to run water to your turbo? I know if you've been driving your car hard the oil in the car will cook in the turbo and shorten it's life but what if you just let your car run for a minute or two after driving?

Re:water for turbo

Without water, more like 5-10 minutes.. I was thinking of getting an 12V DC CHEAP water pump that will run for like 5 minutes after the car has been turned off.

on a non-turbo motor, idling is about the worst think you can do to it, so why don't that apply to turbo cars ? well, b/c the nearing in the turbo will coke up... What if there was a way to keep cooler the turbo after the motor has been turned off

Would a water pump do the trick ?? I'm thinking turbo timer for 1 1/2 minutes and then water pump..

What does everyone else think ?

If your turbo has water lines use them...
