Can this tubocharger be used on VW aircooled engines

It is a Garrett T3 0.63A/R trim 60







It can be water or oil cooled as I am told,I just need to block one of the options

It has to have oil to it whatever else you do,you just leave the water ports blank,I see no reason why it cant be used Smiley I ran a turbonetics t04 for 3 years with a watercooled center section without connecting anything to it

Ditto what Richie said - I ran an oil+water cooled Mitsubishi TE05-12B (originally fitted to a Saab 900 Turbo) with oil only and it was fine...
Just remember not to switch the motor off immediately after sustained hot / high load running - let it idle for a minute or so to allow the oil and turbo bearings to cool a bit...

Is this turbo good for draw throug turbo system,or does it need any special bearings?

Hi,

AFAIK it doesn't have a carbon seal, therefore no good for draw-thru, but happily corrected

 I didn't take the chance as I ran a hybrid scrap-yard-special mechanical fuel injection system using various VW + Saab K-jet bits...
