i recently had a chance on a turbo it is a garrett t3 but it has the coolant line s anyone ever run this type on a 2.2 non eco if so what s it run like is it possible to run this without the coolant lines hooked up any suggestions welcome
Just hook up the coolant lines, it's easy. Also, try some punctuation to break up that killer run-on..
fortune cookie say: better a delay than a disaster
My Turbonetics/Garrett is water cooled. You don't have to hook those up, no. What I might do down the line is create a sealed coolant system just for the turbo. I didn't want to tie it in to the crappy, single core stock radiator and heat up the car any more than it already wants to.
you want to hook it up....its not necessary, but will prolong the life of the turbo 10x....
the turbos with the water jackets around the bearings are usually much more expensive....for this reason. If you need stuff to hook it up contact ATP turbo, they have all the benjo bolts and fitting you need to do it, but its well worth it.
Or you can just hit up a hose fittings store in your area, if you can find one. In Syracuse, I use Shako exclusively. ATP is great, but a bit pricey and you still have to factor in shipping.
