I would personally never use a oil only turbo when there are typical sized water cooled turbos that give the same performance results but have much better thermal control and reliability.


They use water cooling for a reason.

Alot of OEM HiPo cars have electric pumps that keeps the coolant flow going for a while after shut down.

Sound engineering principles, use them
