EPnick22 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Currently running td04 without water lines could i do the same with a Vf bb turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_VF22 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 They are there for a reason mate i use them on my VF22 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Personally would run them if the turbo is meant to be water cooled, especially on something performance related. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EPnick22 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Everyone has different viewsjust want to know if it needs them more than the td04 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 For the sake of 30 or 40 quid to get some made y would anyone not use them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oil is primary coolingWater is secondary. If you get it hot enough to need the 2ndry cooling. Then I'd rather cool a td04 worth £50 than a headgasket tooOn more expensive turbos, id probably run them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Id 100 % run them on a BB / Rollerbearing turbos..id run them on journal bearing turbos too, however its not the end of the world if you don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Do the td04 water lines fit a vf24? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Oil is primary coolingWater is secondary. If you get it hot enough to need the 2ndry cooling. Then I'd rather cool a td04 worth £50 than a headgasket tooOn more expensive turbos, id probably run themI would have it the other way round, water is a better conductor of heat than oil. Oil's primary job is to lubricate, it being able to do cooling as well is a secondary task. I would always run water cooling whenever possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Anyone going to answer my last question? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Anyone going to answer my last question?VFs have plastic ball bearing catridges. so id probably run water lines on one of those although equally there seems a be a load of scooby guys who have done it for a while with no ill effects. its whatever makes you most comfortable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If they weren't needed turbo housing wouldn't come this them installed back then and even on the latest ones supplied by garrett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah if they weren't needed then turbo companies wouldn't put them there, a lot of non Performance turbos are only oil cooled. Most Performance stuff is water cooled as it's recommended to run the water lines. So I personally would run them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seab Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As said previously oil is primary cooling (and lubrication) coolant is there if the turbo has a small bearing housing/core as the heat dissipation isn't great.You could run without if you ran an oil cooler maybe. As I work for Holset (Cummins Turbos) I can tell you for free that we dont put water cooling in unless it is needed.But most of our FG and WG stuff isn't water cooled.

mikey4410 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 never run water lines myself,i dont want the heat to transfer to my engine for obvious reasons td04 turbos are peanuts compared to a overheated engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 never run water lines myself,i dont want the heat to transfer to my engine for obvious reasons td04 turbos are peanuts compared to a overheated engine pretty much why I've never run them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Still noones and answered me, do td04 waterlines fit a vf24? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 As said previously oil is primary cooling (and lubrication) coolant is there if the turbo has a small bearing housing/core as the heat dissipation isn't great.

But most of our FG and WG stuff isn't water cooled. Yeah Greddy are the same on alot of turbos, where oil cooling is adequate water isnt used. that would add weight to the idea that when a turbo has them you should use them. That said ive ran a td04 for yonks few years ago and no issues without waterlines. epnick no idea about td04/vf24 waterlines. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
