you should have one for oil and one for water cooling... you can block off that port unless you insist on having a watercooled and oil cooled turbocharger. it doesn't really matter, you can run it on straight oil cooling. it'll be fine unless you're constantly doing overboosting highway runs or you just picked a turbo too small and you are putting too heavy of a load on it... i.e heat soaking.




I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

You can buy pipe plugs that have the same thread size as the holes.

If you have a watercooled turbo you may as well use it. you can tap into the lines for the heatercore. they are better then nothing atall. keeping those bearings cooler goes a long way towards making the turbo last longer. Not to mention alot less of that heat will go into your oil. a safe idle down time of 30 secs will also be enjoyable
