Water cooled turbo - ForcedInduction - 02-05-2010
Can the water can be too cool for a turbo?
I need to split my radiator core (a/c condenser) into two sections and it would make things 10x easier to run one of those 3/8" lines through the turbo instead of opening up my engine's cooling system for a separate line.

I would thing you would want it around 150-175 if it was really cool it could create more friction on the turbo shaft and seals??? Just a guess!!!! My antique rajay works great after it has soaked the heat all the way through!

My new turbo is water cooled, I am just going to tie into the heater hoses and call it a day.

Don't bother.
The water jackets are only for shutdown protection and then only for petrol engines. The only diesel turbos which have them are a legacy of the same core used on petrol engines.
