turbo with oil and coolant lines
ok so i know most of the people on here say block the coolant and dont bother with it.
my thinking is whatever will help control the temp inside the engine bay, however,
im thinking that running coolant through my turbo will only give my ebay turbo another
reason to break. ie the seals inside start leaking or something.
is it a risk or better insurance.

Re: turbo with oil and coolant lines
it might help keep the temps down thus keeping the turbo alive longer, or it cuold just be one more thing that can go wrong. The issue is with teh cdm turbos 50-70% work ok with minimal issues if any. the other 50 to 30% fail horibly... so its a hit and miss. i personla would say ---- it and not run the coolent lines...
and the percentage figures are BS i made them up, but you get my idea...

Re: turbo with oil and coolant lines
turbo designers put coolant lines there for a reason.
IE, longer turbo bearing life, and reduced heat.
if your turbos "water seals" are leaking, that means you need to tighten your fittings. :P

Re: turbo with oil and coolant lines
ok cool.
ill run them.
i wanna see if i can get an answer for another question without posting another thread.
if im reducing my oil pressure before the turbo should i put my oil pressure gauge before the reducer showing engine block pressure
or after the reducer showing turbo pressure. right now i have it configured for before the reducer and figured i would just turn it
down a tiny bit.
