VX 35 in So Cal

The water cooled center section is not needed. Even if you get a turbo with a cooled center section you don't have to hook it up. The only thing the cooled center section does is help keep oil from cooking inside the turbo and gumming it up. On the surface that sounds like a great thing, and it is for a turbo expected to go 150k miles, but not 100% needed for a light daily/weekend car. You can hook it up if you want, but just letting you know you don't have to.


Also, and I've been meaning to mention this, you will have to run an external wastwegate with that turbo. The factory internal wastegate is set to something like 25 psi and isn't adjustable.
