Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

holes on top and bottom are oil lines.

holes in back and the one up front with the barb fitting, are for coolant. run coolant from IACV lines or something to them if you wanna liquid cool your turbo and extend life...or just ignore them.

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

i'm know turbo expert but why would there be a vac line on the center section? maybe its water cooled

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

uhh thats b/c it is water cooled i belive....some one correct me if im wrong. but yea pretty positive its for the water lines.

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

So... where do i run the lines from?.... will it hurt anything if i just plug it... and run it only oil cooled like most other turbos?

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

like i said, ignore them completely if you like, it won't matter. dont even need to plug them

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

i left mine open and never had a problem.

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

hold the phone fellas

I am a nooby. I just finished my first turbo-LX450
my used t4 garet turbo has only oil lines but had plugs where wayer cooling would be. Can I pull the plugs and run water cooling lines? are they pre-threaded?

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

Yes...most of the time they are threaded. If this is a daily driver I would recommend water cooling it. It will extend the life of the turbo considerably. If you choose not to water cool it. Let it idle a little bit (mabe a minute or so...) before you shut it down, espessially if you were driving hard and boosting alot, it reduces the chance of the oil baking inside the turbo...

You need to relax with you topic heading, ur acting like a little girl because you turbo has an extra hole in it, do some research like everyone else here once has, and u will quickly find out what they are for :3

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

way cool info. I will be pulling the turbo and running h20 lines. Thanks once again for another great tip. It doesn't matter which side of turbo you enter and exit your water lines from now does it? are they just NPT threads? does anyone know what thread they are-3/8 npt etc?

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

Hmmm its hard to search "hole in turbo" anyway "loud" non descriptive titles attract attention and makes someone want to find out what the person is talking about.... i mean it worked to get you in right????? and it worked for me because i found my answer....

the only thing i dont get is what your purpose was for posting O0

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

To call you a faggot, you dont have to read every thread to know that turbos are water and oil cooled, maybe start with the spoon fed noob threads that have big flashy titles that your talking about, you know the ones that says "NOOBS, READ HERE BEFORE YOU POST ANY QUESTIONS!!!" FAG

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

The reason you can't find "Hole in turbo" is because people make titles like yours, make a title that can help everyone this is a community that give and take info from each other these retarded title are ineffective at helping anyone but yourself, don't be selfish and if you made the title "What are the holes in my turbo for" you would have got the same answer as you did probably in the same amount of time and would have helped every noob from here on that is also retarded ::End Rant::

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

again useless.... i mean im a "fag" because i posted a title you dont like? hmmm and i may be wrong but not all turbos are oil and water cooled to begin with..

This makes sense haha even though you did call me retarded but in this case you were right....

Re: WHAT THE HELL?????!!!!!!
 

You are a FAG because you didnt search before you posted, even tho there are threads set out for dumb fucks like you to go and read before you bug the hell out of us about things that have already been answered a million times, that is correct not all turbos are water cooled, you are learning, do some more reading, and while you are at it go hang you self ------- noob :S
