hi i have just had a stage 2 t3 turbo built and it could do with being water cooled and as it is going on my series 1 it is not water cooled from the factory,tapping in to the water feed should be quite easy but i need to find the two connectors for the turbo unit has anyone elce done this before and knows where i can get the bits from or an easy way to do it.any help would be apreciated thanks lee

 

All you need is a couple of banjo bolts, some copper "O" rings to go on each side of the pipe ends that you will need to buy as well, if it has a water channel in the core/bearing housing then the later water cooled ones bits would most likely be the eaisest way.
Someone like PARKERS would sell all the bits needed.

Thanks for that where would you take the water feed from somewhere like heater matrix or the standard oil cooler water feed pipes ? thanks lee

 

Your turbo will be fine without water cooling you know, I ran my Stg 3 T3 for god knows how long with no issues.
Std RST water pipes should already have the feed/return for the cooling anyway if you really want to do it

 

isnt the rs turbo series 2 only watercooled from the factory so it illiminates the need to let the turbo cool down after a run than say using one which doesnt have water cooler ie the series 1 where its best to let it cool before switching it off ????.
