oil or water cooled turbo?

[stan66]

anyone know if the turbo on the 2016+ are water cooled or oil cooled?

I imagine anything really in the last 25 or so years is water cooled. Obviously oil lubricated

thanks! I take it that's why is not necessary to let the turbo cool down anymore after driving since there is no oil to get cooked?

The bearings of the turbo are still lubricated with oil just like they always have been. The addition of a coolant loop helps keep the oil temperatures in the turbo center cartridge down.
