This is FWD SR.

To answer your question: Possible? Yes. Stupid? Definitely. You'll have one Hell of a hot turbo that way.

Most Garrett turbos use an oil restrictor (I want to say -3an), but double check that in the RWD SR section.

You can run it without water, but your turbo life will shorten dramatically.

Why would you want to run it with out the lines?

If the turbo has them, use them.

Has to stay cool some how but I mean its all up to you if you want it to over heat and mold it self into a different shape be my guest but I would use them if it comes with them they are put there for a reason not for show..

Thats just stupid, this shouldn't even be a question, they put the coolant ports for a reason.

put them on, and make sure your water pump, radiator, and fan are working hard to keep your whole motor and turbo, very cool.

I'm running a HKS GT2530 and while I do have the ports to run water lines to the turbo, I'm not using them. I'm not telling you to not run water lines to them, but I've been fine dd my car. I just make sure to have my turbo timer run a few minutes, so I don't have no oil coking up in the oil lines.
