im not running coolant on my gt28r. although i DO sit in my car 30 seconds after driving to cool everything down. and rarely does my turbo even spool. i drive this thing like a grandma and i still let the turbo cool off. i didnt have any lines to run for coolant, if i had, i wouldve. if u have the funds for both lines then use them.

THE TURBO WOULDNT HAVE COOLANT PORTS ON IT IF IT WASNT NEEDED!!. USE THEM.

I also run a GT28R --AutoX and Track days. Taka lines.

Even after running for a minute or 2 after being abused, you should hear the coolant going through the turbo --it needs those lines.

BTW--I picked up a spare motorset recently --and it has a T25 with a T3 wheel on it --no play --Any idea what that would be worth on the open market?
