Water and oil. What is it you intend to do? Not sure what you by bypass the water pipe? Do you mean to remove the water supply to the turbo entirely?

That's fine, the water outlet can be capped off on the hard pipe that comes out next to the thermostat. Then just replace the banjo bolt for the water line from turbo to the block with a blanking plug with the same thread pitch.
