bypass water feed line??

[newtypedsm]

i was reading where some users simply dont connect the water feed line to their turbos after a new turbo install and block it off....is this safe? the less lines i have to hook up, the better for me

It depends whether the turbo you are running is "wet" or "dry." If it's "dry" ie only oil cooled, you can loop the water lines. If you search around here, there are sevral ways to do it.

its a Mitsubishi TD05 "BIG 16g" turbo. i just read that people said the water was to help cool it after a hard run. i guess its best to connect it once i install the turbo

The 16G is a wet turbo "water cooled" therefore it MUST have the water lines plumbed to it. There is no choice in this matter.
