okay dumb question about our turbos
i understand that the oil is used to lubricate the shaft of the turbo, but i remeber reading somewhere that engine coolant is used to cool the turbo? is that true and if so how the heck does that work? does anyone have an image or something that i can see to try and figure this out?

Each cavity has an apearture where the supply lines feed fluids. The inner cavity is the oil cavity (lube) and the outer cavity is the water cavity (coolant).
