Default t3 turbo fitting help

Hello

I am in the process of changing my T3 turbo on my escort s2 rs turbo....problem I have is my old turbo is oil cooled only nad the new one is oil and water cooled. Where should I plumb the water feed to the turbo from.

I have a blank on the radiator so can take one from there but where should I plumb the return pipe??

Any help appreciated!!

if its lke a cossie then you can leve the water cooling disconnected,really not needed on a road car .as a bonus you put less stress on your cooling system.should get an rst expert to confirm tho.

You dont need to run the water feed if you dont want.
It only help warms up and cools down quicker but will be fine with out.

Thanks for the reply lads.....

So it would be fine to blank off the holes then and just run the oil feed?
