am I ok running 14b with no coolant lines?

[t4-teg]

I can probably search and find the answer, But im trying to get 50 posts so I can post classifieds ads and other stuff... Will I be OK running the stock 14b at stock boost levels with no coolant running through it? I dont have coolant lines or the money to buy them right now.

I dotn race the car, and I will let the engine run for a min. or two after driving the car to let it cool down a lil bit.

It is not recommended but it has been done before by some member without problems. Basically, it is your call.


PS- You can get to 50 posts pretty quickly just by helping out other people.

I wouldn't run it without the coolant lines,but you can run without it,just let the car run for a minute or two before turning off your car

Yeah It would not be the best idea in the world. BTW I have 60 something post and I still can't use the classifieds so don't be in a hurry.

If your turbo is designed with a wet center section, keep it that way. Or buy a turbo with a dry center section in the first place.

A search really would have answered this question.
