Anyone using water to cool their turbo. I know that many turbo bearing centers (CHRA's or center housing rotating assembly) have inlet and outlet ports for both oil (lube/cooling) and water (cooling). If you are running water through your turbo, I'd like to know what equipment you are using!

Thanks!

Electric water pump that also cools my water intercooler.I am running 4 gallons of water (actually 5 in capacity) thru the whole circuitIncludes 2 big as hell oil coolers in the front center hole, 2 small ones on the small grills (recently added for testing), reservoir tank (3 gallons), water intercooler (Syclone), pump (Baitsentry 1000 gph mag pump), turbo, inline cooler (those long anodized ones) and back to the front coolers.Pump is under the stock MAF location, reservoir is under (where the CAI will be) long cooler is at the back of the engine (firewall)Quite long piping but the results and simplicity is perfect!!

Pretty much a stand alone system. I'd like to try that set up as soon as I go KA-T. Thanks for the info!
