Water cooled Turbo's

[Mike]

Confused to funk now. Changed from a T2 (oil cooled) to a T25. Appatently its a water cooled item. So, is it a case of simply T peicing a water hose, feed it to turbo, then return line it back into the OE cooling system?

Or do they have an oil feed aswell (lubrication purpose's)?

Offending charger:

Should have both oil and water feed and returns.l

Anymore pics of the other side?

yes, just make sure you get a flow through it wont be much use. usually it comes out the discharge of the pump to the return from the radiator

[Mike]

Also, whilst on the charger subject, both my T2 and this T25 have a little brass nipple/outlet fitted on the thrust housing, what is it/where does it go.

On the compressor housing?

Its the pressure line to the acuator for the wastegate.

[Mike]

Though so, but wasnt 100% sure.

The dude i bought the T25 from has removed the fcuking oil/water union fitting along with actuator pipe! B@stard.

Connecting the water jacket isnt entirely necessary, just leave it open...

oh the compressor housing, when you said 'thrust housing' i thought you meaned CHRA but there are no brass nipples on there.

yes it's for the wastegate

the oil supply union is a funny thread, you can unscrew it and fit a banjo ,or you can fit the OE fitting and swage your own pipework

Super, i did think about this but assumed it could potentially cause me some issues further down the line (i.e traffics jams, pod traffic etc)

[meritlover]

you are correct, its mainly for engine shut offs when the oil isnt flowing and people cant be bothered letting the engine idle for a few mins to let the turbo cool before switching off.
