The turbo is oil luvricated - the brearing is an oil-film bearing. The oil also carries some heat away from the turbo, so you could say it's oil cooled. But in addition, it has a coolant sleeve surrounding the bearing housing. So it's water cooled. Turbos on most C900s do not have the water cooling (the later ones do). But all 9000Ts are water cooled. -- Grunff
