to make this as simple as possible for you to understand.
the water cooled turbo's use the antifreeze of an engine to cool the turbo down a little more while the oil is not really used to cool the turbo but to lubricate the moving parts inside. floating bearing setup!!!! oil cooled is really just a term used to describe the turbo setup. the water in an engine is cooler than the oil and therefore cools the turbo more than the oil would by itself. get it??? hope that helps, dg This post has been edited by DG_Performance: Nov 21, 2004 - 12:22 AM --------------------  |
