plenty of people running them without the water feed on YB engines. it helps the cooling system alot.

The GT core 100% needs water cooling mate - the GT series of turbos don't have the same volume of oil flowing through them and so can't absorb the heat sufficiently.

Yes a gt30 will need water cooling. Having a turbo cooler will help alot with water temps so would recommend one.
