can i run my t3 without the water pipes connected or do i need to have it water cooled i know that some dont come with the option but mine has got the pipes so do i need to connect them up?

 

you can run it without the water pipes

 

ok will this hurt it in the long run or will it be ok

 

The turbos that dont have water cooling dont require it.
The turbos with water cooling do.

Its not rocket science folks.

 

it'll be absolutely fine

 

it'll run fine without them connected, been doing away with them on erst's for years without any real probs, you quite often find that it can reduce the engine coolant temps as well, just my own opinion and experience, no doubt somebody will dissagree but its always worked for me
