    turbo swap issues

    brought what i think might be a t25 not sure, got more play in the shaft than was described but when i went o fit it i realised there is no inlet and outlet for the water? it has the oil feed pipe going in the top and a hole to exit on the bottom.

    is this right if so what the fook do i do with the water pipes that went on my old turbo~?

    getting some pics sorted but need to know asap


    old one

    old water hoses

    Bridge the water pipes together.

    For ref', and maybe peace of mind, the turbos fitted to ph1 gtt's didn't run a water feed...

    do t25's just have oil cooling then? is this a proven thing mart just put the pipe from carb base straight to water pump?

    It doesn't matter what spec the turbo is; just some are designed to run a water feed, some aren't.

    As I say, just bridge the pipes, or connect direct to the water pump.

    The exhaust housing looks a tad small for it to be a full T25
