Thread: VET stock placement T2 manifold

No problem. thanks

@BenFenner,

The VET placement actually allows for a bigger compressor housing. It is about an inch out further than the GTiR mani

Whats the price on this?

Anyone know if there are any T2 turbos that do not use coolant cooling? as in just an oil feed

No turbo is water cooled (they are all oil cooled), so you never have to run water to them.
Many turbos are water jacketed so they need no cool-down time. The water prevents the oil from coking in the turbo after the engine shuts down. If you run the engine for a bit to cool the turbo you don't need to run water to it.

I swore the stock t25/t28's used a coolant and oil feed to the turbo. You can see the coolant lines and oil lines running right to the turbo.

If I were to go turbo I was going to use a bigger turbo for ease of use, like a Pte 6262 that only has 1 inlet (for oil) am I wrong?

Short answer: You can leave the water ports empty. You don't need to feed them water. All turbos are oil cooled.

I dont think you'll get away with that for long on a ball bearing turbo

This is not news. There are no water cooled turbos.

Go tell that to the air-cooled Porsche Turbo owners with their BB turbos. They usually use the water jacket ports to mount turbo supports.

Can I still retain A/C with this manifold? Where exactly would the external gate placement be with that option? I have been waiting for someone to make these instead of having to find someone locally to do it. Definitely interested for my ve'd b14 with a greddy 18g waiting to go in.

The turbo placement will be identical to my setup ..since I sent them my vet manifold to mock up..so the turbo fx j-pipe will fit with a det downpipe from vrs. The exhaust will be pushed up about an inch ..so you might have to adjust the hangers.
