So i decided not to go t3 and after seeing some numbers on the black i think it's perfect for my 60lb/min goal
Question is, i have ran a pte 5558 JB for roughly 4500 miles, no water provisions on the chra. Zero problems. I just wasn't a dumbass and raced it into the garage with boiling hot oil. It's in mint condition as far as shaft play goes and i honestly see no reason to have the added complexity of running water lines in/out of a turbo.
I know they are designed for it but in the end it's still a journal bearing turbo. The point of the water, my understanding anyway, is to help with cooling the oil more in the chra. This is only a problem if you don't idle your car down. You get the 'coking" problem. I usually have a nice slow 3 minute drive through town and as i said, i have had no problems with the PTE.
So what do you say about running the FP Black and just plugging the water provisions?
I always say the simplest design is the best so long as it achieves the desired goal.
