Cool Pluging cooling ports.

Ok i just picked up a turbo for my d-series setup and it has ports for coolant as well as oil. My ? is, can i just plug the coolant ports and be ok with just the oil feed and drain?

if no coolant is going to it, no need to block it off.

You should really use the coolant ports if you have them. The center section bearings will last a lot longer if you do, so you're throwing away free protection by not using coolant lines.

Can't you just tee off an existing coolant line? Shouldn't be too hard and pretty cheap.
