I just received a nice .60/.63 T3 (oil cooled only) from a 50k mile svo and it looks it with no molested bolts and almost zero shaft play
first question is since this turbo requires no water lines should I run a line from the top water line to the bottom of the block or should I just plug the 2 water holes or does it really matter?
second question, I saw the electric fan intercooler write-up on the tech section and was wondering if anyone else has done this trick and how it has worked for them since I would like to crank my new T3 up to 20+ psi
third question, aside from me getting off my lazy butt before I turn the boost up that high and putting my bigger fuel pump in and likely an adjustable regulator, is there anything else someone might suggest doing before 20+ psi?
and last but not least, I made a braided line (-4an line with -4an fittings) as prescribed by someone on this site and had a little problem with blowing oil through my IHI, now the IHI was on its way out so granted that could be a big part but I got a factory hard line with the turbo so should I put the hard line on it or stick with my braided line that I made or go to a -3an line?
thanks in advance
