Default Water cooled turbo issue!

Okay so I was doing some research and was thinking of a good way to cool down my turbo. I upgraded to a gt35r and things started to get hot. Anyway, I made a set up kinda like a I/C spray to spray water onto the turbine and lately my engine has been running choppy. Is this because my turbo isn't getting hot enough?

Im SURE this is a joke, but if not you prolly cracked something (housings, manifold, dp)

Now why would you want to make your turbine colder? The EGT's need to stay up to keep velocity up. Plus all you will end up doing is making steam by spraying water on a very hot surface.

It is the compressor side that you want to keep cool so the IAT's are lower. But you still dont want to spray anything directly onto the housings since they could crack.


I do find it odd that your GT35r is getting too hot since it will heat up less then a much smaller turbo will. If it is getting too hot you might have a huge back pressure issue.

or at least i thought the same thing, or that he killed something shooting water directly on his turbine.... that would be like using sand to port your cylinders...... ahahahaha
