Re: turbo water lines
Extremely important. The oil "cooling" ability of the turbo design is "less" due to the design relying more on the integrated water cooling .
Not that important while driving but predominantly when you have switched off and heat soak back from the turbine housing and manifold start creeping towards the bearing assy.
Garrett specifically suggest that the turbo chra is canted over slightly to promote siphoning when switched off.
It is important.

Re: turbo water lines
then its not a garret turbo
if it does not have water cooling then block it off
if it does not have water cooling then block it off
