This is about an option to have a watercooled jacket installed on a Turbonetics single turbo. Turbonetics is offering this on a limited basis-see the usefull thread from MIAPLAYA for more information.

Water cooling will only help on any turbocharged car. Is it mandatory, no. But with Turbonetics offering to set this up for you like they have I would do it. Water cooling will help keep the bearing temps lower increasing the life of your turbocharger.
Watercooling is a great way to dissipate heat.
I dont see any drawbacks to using a water cooled center section, and possibly some good benefits.
Con
Defintiely no drawbacks except for the plumbing.

I don't see you telling APS owners to buy a better turbo kit when their turbos smoke out of box or the kits don't hold the boost APS says they do without someone else's actuator. Who are you really kidding here? Get a life already no one cares for your blathering anymore. Its annoying at best. I guess my "incomplete" turbo kit must be REALLY bad since I'm on year 2+ with over 70,000 miles with no failures while you can't keep from breaking your car with your "superior" turbo kit.
my kit is vastly superior

Or maybe we should ask the guys who bought the EW setup for the ST kit how much it costs when APS screwed them.

This thread went south quick. Now nothing is going to be learned from the original question. Is it going to be another 10 page thread of people arguing like school girls. I come here to learn, not read drama. But let me guess, someone has a smart comment about my statement also?

In any case having the water setup on the turbo is like putting lipstick on a pig
