Default Water cooling turbo

I know the S1 didn't have it. But problem is now. I am using a smaller radiotor in my mk3 estate. ( cos of the intercooler pipes in the near future)So no water return for my turbo. Is it really needed or can i do without?

water cooling isnt essential, its moreso for cooling down when stopped, rather than waiting in your car for the turbo to cool before you switch the engine offf

Use a good size oil supply pipe, so it gets plenty of oil cooling, and it should be fine.
