i had no idea that this post was going to create such issues between everyone but to elaborate on the OP, i currently have a hrc20g on the car, i am pulling the turbo to temporarily run an evo 3 16g just to get the car running while i am having work done to the 20g. now, as far as future turbos i plan on going to a gt35r or gt42r when the car gets rebuilt in a year. i do have a turbo timer, and i have never had my turbo timer set for less then a 2 minute runtime. i understand why the waterlines are there, and i am not a retard. i was just looking for others opinions on the subject and if anyone had some good advice either way.


but here is a good question for those in vote of keeping the waterlines...

if mitsu turbos (in your minds) require water lines to maintain safe operating temps, then are mitsu turbos unequall in quality to other turbos that do not require water lines? how do these other turbos function at equal if not higher boost with out becoming "time bombs"?

on another similar subject, why do ppl with 1g's take the egr crap off thier cars if mitsu put it there? obviously they put it there for a reason.
