ok to run no coolant on my ATS 62T?

[boostedmklll]

hey i have a 7mgte and just got an ats 62T turbo... I'm wondering if it is safe for the turbo to run no coolant through it. any input is appreciated thanks

well if it has a port for coolant then you must.
i would really doubt a company would put a coolant port just in case the customer wants to run coolant through it.

just think about it this way. would you run the ct 26 without coolant flowing through even though it was design to have coolant flowing through?

You should definitely run coolant through it as thats what it was designed for. There's really no reason to not run coolant through it.

Water cooling is better for the turbo. After the engine is shut off, the turbo will heat soak (as there's no oil flowing to it anymore) and the oil can coke (this was the original reason for turbo timers). Water cooling will thermo-syphon and continue cooling even when the engine is not running.
