Switching turbo's. What to do with coolant flow?
I should have just asked all in one thread but...I am switching to a non-water cooled turbo and I am wondering what to do with the coolant. Can I block this off as well? Or do I need to run a bypass hose?
Thanks

First off, go get you a water-cooled turbo. IMHO, there is no good reason to run an oil-cooled turbo - you add a LOT more heat load to the oil, and oil-cooled turbos are what gave turbo's their bad name with reliability.
That said, if you are stuck with this setup somehow, you can just block off the water feed and return. It won't affect coolant flow at all.

This is just a temporary setup honestly. After I get it up and running this way with the haltech I will be saving for a new Pineapple motor and chose a t04 of some sort but for now I think this will last as long as I need it to.
