Water will not cause the turbo to crack, water has always been used for cooling in the steel industry.

i completelly agree with you on the turbo placement....its a NO NO



but about the cooling with water...yes it has been used in the steel industry but mainly for one piece parts...in a turbo you'll have at least a few different alloys with very different compresion(can't think of the proper word right now) rates and with such low tolerances between then the turbo will most likelly snap
