I have a (T04B) turbo ''said to be from Lindsey racings Stage 3 kit''
Im not sure weather I need to run this turbo dry or wet.
Would there be ANY issues to the motor or ANYTHING if I decide to just run the turbo oil cooled?
thankyou

If it's a dual bb CHAR then it has to be water cooled.
You can tell if it has an oil restrictor on it at the top. looks like a yellow brass fitting to the oil line on the turbo.

To add on to what Paul said, if it ISNT DBB, even if it is a wet CHRA, you wont hurt it by running it dry so long as you make sure you keep out of boost for the last few miles home, and let the car idle for a minute or two before shutting it down. If you are really worried, install a turbo timer and forget about it. FWIW I'm currently running a "wet" turbo dry, I like how much cleaner it is under the hood without the water crossover pipe.

I should have added.. That if it is not a DBB then theres no restricted amount of oil that will also keep the turbo cool.
the DBB CHAR is water cooled only. the oil is only to lubricate the bearings.
