Default Roller turbos questions

Are roller bearing turbos spose to be silent? ie no wining etc?

What do people do with the water pipe from stat to heater matrix cos the turbo wont allow the steel pipe to fit thru above the manifold?

What type of bearing it has has NO relevance to the sound, there are no touching parts on either type of breaing when the oil is moving thru them, the anym whistling or whining sound is feck all to do with bearings.
