question about water cooled turbos and winter...

Is there ever a problem with freezing with water cooled turbos in winter?

They are cooled with engine coolant. If your turbo is freezing, so is your block.

So as long as you're running antifreeze you're fine.

This

When referring to watercooled cars it generally means antifreeze mixture
