Suppose I had to put a coolant cooled turbo on my car. Could I just run oil through it, or could you use it on the car and just block the coolant passages?
Thanks,
Chris

ne1 have problems with this type of setup? Longetivity?? Cracking??? Seal life???? Also is it any better if you dont run coolant through it. I would like to run it so the cooland passages are open so that air can circulate around in there to sort of air cool it.
