Leave it off by all means. Just observe the mechanical sympathy at shutdown. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

If it wasn't needed Garrett would not have fitted it in the first place. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

I don't think it's that it's nessaceraly needed, but just that it helps prolong the life of the Turbo. Mines plumbed in line after the heater & before the bottom hose. |

Modern diesels run high boost and are rather powerful, however diesel turbos are still oil only. On the other hand small diesel turbos like GT15 (close to T2) are often worn after 150mkm.
