so i have a on3 t67 ball bearing turbo. it has the provisions for oil and water cooling.

anyone ever try to run water through the turbo too. on3 said there thier for us to use if we wish.

any benefits with having a water/oil cooled turbo vs just oil. I feel like it would help cool the turbo and the oil.

any thoughts would be great!!!

I have it as well on my Comp Turbo and noticed that underhood temps have dropped signficitanly even after about 10 dyno passes...

from that pic it looks like his oil feed and drain are nearly horizontal. maybe its just the pic? i hope so because the turbo wouldnt last too long with it positioned like that

you can also tap into the upper and lower radiator hoses to feed the turbo's coolant ports

I can't..when I tried a longer belt, it nearly touches when placed under the idler...so this setup works..

If the turbo has water ports,you should really use them. Reason is cause the bearing housing was designed for coolent to cool the housing and not oil. What will happen is the bearing housing will over heat and cause the turbo to fail and blow the rings out (seals) or distort the compresser shaft.
