    unless you have a roller bearing turbo you dont need to cool it with water, it might even be the turbo your engine has fitted isnt watercooled, pictures would help

    cant see from that picture but if the turbo is water cooled the core will have holes in the sides 90 degrees to the oil in/out.

    THB if you can, you are better not running water through it, as its puts massive heat into the cooling system

    That's not the type of Turbo to be water cooled by the look of it. We ran a Group A Escort Cosworth Rally Car with antilag and that never used a water cooled Turbo, there would be just too much heat for the water to be kept cool.

    It looks like a T3/T4 as fitted to early Sierra Cosworths. Later Escort RS Cossie's had T34 or T35 which are water cooled.
