You can crack a hot engine block or cylinder head by pouring cold water on it, the turbo housing isn't any different. I am sure that they don't use cold water to cool the steel. I am sure the water is above room temp but still a lot cooler than the hot steel but not cold enough to crack it. Also, keep in mind that, that is solid steel not hollow like a turbo or with hollow openings like a cylinder head or engine block.
