(Noob ?) GT2560 Water Port Block off
Hey guys, I've used search to help me answer this question but nothing really comes up.
I have a GT2560 turbo and I will not be running water lines.
I know most people who dont run water to their turbo just leave the ports open.
my question is, Can I close the water ports with bolts on my turbo?
Will this put any risks to performance/safety of my turbo?
thanks in advance for all help on this topic.
Once again, sorry if this has been covered!

lol @ retardation in this thread. I bet Subaru, Mitsu, Chevy, Ford, VW, and Hyundai should follow your logic and scratch water from the factory turbos, they're obviously unnecessary and Garrett should also stop wasting money on this. there is obviously no reason for it.

If you don't want to run water, get a turbo that is designed to be oil cooled. The oil ports/chambers are substantially bigger in these turbos. They are designed to have more oil flow to keep everything cooler vs. a water cooled chra. Engineers get payed big bucks to design turbos for a reason.

I could berate you for this myself, but it's much easier to let an actual Garrett engineer do it for me.

Rob S (Garrett guy in those links) knows what's up.
Summary: if you want your bb turbo to fail, do not attach water lines to it.
