That's what I normally try to do. Do you think it disperses enough heat regardless of turbo size?

Default i spray liquid nitrogen into my oil dip stick. If i drive really hard i will spray the turbos.
My neighbor(a really good mechanic) who is always rebuilding his engine told me to try. I heard about putting ice in the coolant tank but have not tried it yet.

Default yeah it works. If you open it really fast it just burps and lets a little air into the system.
Then i was told to put the ice in and just rev it a little.
