Question about the Garrett T28
Okay,
I need someone knowledgable to clarify this, I think this was posted ONCE b4, but i couldnt freakin find it, so I had to ask...
Okay check out this pic:
its regarding that hole that is empty that looks kinda rusted....
NOW, I have been told by 2 places in my city that specialize in turbos, that my turbo im running right now is supposed to have coolant or something along those lines running to it as well as oil. This turbo i have is apparently not strictly an oil turbo. I dunno the specifics cause im still learning, but apparently they said the second hole is supposed to have something and that im more or less wrecking this turbo and that its gonna die soon if i dont do something about it.

yea this was posted before. But, I'll give you some info to expedite your process. Those holes are for water cooling the turbo. It isn't necessary to water cool your turbo, hence, rrm doesn't provide lines for them. However, if you do decide to cool your turbo using this method it will help speed up your spooling.
Sometime after winter I think I am going to water cool my turbo, I just need to find the fittings and the lines for them. So if you do proceed forward in watercooling your turbo, do a right up with some pics. I'd appreciate it.

If so, that means pretty much every RRM customer is wreaking their turbo.
Which I doubt.
I think it's just one of those "you can do it, but you don't have to" kinda things.

I have also heard that it increases how quick the turbo spools. It would be nice to have, but isn't necessary, however, I would suggest doing it, if you have the time and money.

im not turbo'd so i dont know if it's true or not, but i have read many places (here, subaru boards, toyota boards, etc.) that it does spool faster. You should put the theory to test, if your car is in the condition to do so.

Spool has far more to do with turbine size, temp, and exhaust flow than anything else. If water cooling plays a part at all, it's a very minor one. A proper sized turbo will not run hot to the point of making it significantly less efficient unless it's abused (i.e. run hot and hard repeatedly).

If it is a garret turbo and a ball bearing model then you MUST have water cooling it down as well otehrwise the bearings get too hot and get damaged.
If it is not a ball bearing model and is a traditional sleeve / shaft model then whilst you don't need water running through it, it woudl be benficial to add a water circuit because ti will extend the life of the turbo considerably as it will pull heat out of the turbo as well as improve the efficiency of the oil lubrication.
