Decided I'm going to get a rebuilt Garrett:

Should I spend extra and on the install to add water cooling plumbing?

Or keep it simple with my existing oil only cooling? The one in the car lasted to 225k (25k mine), and I'll probably keep this car another 5 years or so.

I don't mind changing my oil every 3k, and cooling down for a minute off the highway, like I've been doing already, and which I understand I still need to do with water.

Turbocharger itself is the same cost for either option.
