Default Turbo water cooling????

I have a 1.6 cvh turbo engine and the pipe that comes off the stat to the rad with the extra pipe for the turbo keeps splitting,what problems would i come across if i put a normal piece of water pipe between stat and rad and didnt feed the turbo with water?? Or has anyone got the said pipe that there not using? or the silicone version?
