Most turbo's offer both options. Typically only the oil cooling is used. |

Re: oil cooled vs oil and water cooled turbo
Yes it will run but the water cooling offers oem type longevity that some people like.. piece of mind.

Re: oil cooled vs oil and water cooled turbo
ehh i suppsoe thats a plus. but i think the life of this turbo will only be lived as long as my motor remains unbuilt. after that bigger the a t3 42 trim will be needed. like a 57 trim or so. or like a gt28r or gt35r turbo something like that.
