Default Re: turbo and coolant

Oil does a lot of the center section cooling. The water helps a lot though, and actually helps more when the engine is turned off. The water lines make a thermal siphon and conduct heat away from the center section bearings which help keep oil from breaking down without circulation. Bet you didn't know coolant lines can still cool with the engine off..?
