PWR A/W IC and water-cooled turbo

[scoobytuner]

no, they do it so you dont have to idle your car for a minute before shutting it off.

believe me. ive done it and so have many others. with not one ill effect.

Quoted for truth. Adding the water lines to the turbo will add complexity to your install that you really dont need. But I would add a turbo timer to prevent coking the oil in the center turbo bearing section. I would also reccomend running a 5w/50w or 15w/50w synthetic, your turbo will thank you. I run it in my STi powered GC8 and I have heard no complaints.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I have to run a cooling system for the PWR intercooler so I thought I would tackle the turbo at the same time.

If I don't need it, then I won't mess with it. :agree:

Sandeep, where did you get your PWR intercooler from? What size did you get? I had talked to a guy selling them off of Ebay awhile ago that I wanted to buy from, but he's not on now.

Any new progress?

Take a look at the modern Tdi engines most have an electric water pump to cool turbos down VW/Audi started using them in the early '80's

Hey Bobtail,

Aren't those just afterrun pumps? I think they just run for a short time after the car is shut down to aid in heat removal from the bearing housing on the turbo section. They were to aid in thermosiphoning (sp?) to keep coking away.

The Most Audi turbocharged cars use them, Volkswagen (post 98) turbocharged cars with the TDI models starting in 99 or 2000. The VR6 Volkswagen models also had them because those motors ran HOT! They were designed that way, but they didn't want heat soak after shutdown.

Check it out folks.
