Ollieh17 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 They both don't NEED one, the will run without. Someone did put something up the other day about running turbos without waterlines and the issues it can cause though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 If you wanted to run water lines you could get a thermostat housing from a FTE with the water outlet ports and use that.I wouldnt bother, i turbod a FE and just left it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 yeah what dan g said in the first sentence.....but second sentence I wud disagree with.use water lines on both for sure.they are there for a reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Personal preference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 nah not that.there was a graph and vey detailed info on running water and not running it.changed my mind fully.i used to think the opposite also and that the lines werent needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 On my setup i dont want them or need them so yeah it is personal preference.Oil is the primary cooler of the turbo, the water lines are there from and for the factory setup of the engine and turbo, mine isnt standard and so i dont see the need for them.By all means run them if ya want, but plenty people dont bother and have no issues.Also i dont have some custom spec 2k turbo so zero fucks given.
