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

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
