coolant turbo feed line delete?

[gvr4144]

My precision turbo is just oil fed need to delete or reroute coolant lines. My buddy told me to get n/t line is this my only option?

It's the cleanest way to do it. You can also match up the threads and buy a plug and screw in there. For the t-stat housing you can loop the line or get a na one there too.

What are the general thoughts about deleting the coolant lines on an EVO3? I ran twin EVO3s on my old stealth without coolant, but it wasnt a daily driver.

I'm one of those "they must have put it there for a reason" guys. I say if the turbo is water cooled then you'd need to run the lines to it but that's just my opinion. I'm sure many have ran them without it just like you did with no issues.

I have taped and plugged my thermostat housings with npt plugs so if i want to use them again i can jusr pull out the plug and put in a hose barb. I did the same for the throttle body coolant lines. For the water pipe get a nt pipe and crimp and weld the tb coolant line return.

I'll trade you if you want. I like to keep the water lines for the turbo if possible.

I welded the two spots on the water pipe. So far so good!
