Default water cooling on t3 turbo

hi
i sure it has already been covered , but i would like to know if any of you are running a t3 with out the watercooling pipes connected, and if its ok or not for the turbo , im allso thinking of fitting an oil cooler to keep temp in check , so am i right in thinking i would do away with the modine cooler if i fitted one ??
cheers for any advice

T3 will be OK without water cooling.

Remove the modine if you fit an oil cooler - but you'll either have to join the original 2 water pipes together, or get some replacement pipework to replicate the original routing (but now from the heater matrix straight to the back of the head).
