its always got oil going to it, other wise it would last about 1min.

can you post a pic? the turbo must have a oil feed, iirc S1 t3 was oil cooled only and S2 was oil and water cooled.

Just dont bother doing anything with the water pipes. Isnt essential.

Whatever you do dont join the water to the oil pipes!!!!

What you have is a S2 turbo which has water cooling (but isnt needed) and you must be running a S1 setup in your car which doesnt have water cooling.

So just hook up the oil pipes as they were on your old turbo, and leave the water pipes disconnected or even remove them from the turbo.

Yes make sure you do this! Most important to let it idle for a minute or 2 before shutting off the engine or you'll get extreme heatsoak in your turbo and cook the oil in there!
