Ive got one on my T78 setup. Not sure how functional it is, but its definitely watercooled.

always wondered others opinions on this.. definitly has function.. but adds complication.. for some.... my question is why is only apexi offering this option.. 51mm isn't small either.. prolly end up getting one someday.. Ithink I found a barley used tial 60mm for 250.. waiting for this before I committ on an apexi.. I'd like to hear more about it???also

I dont believe apexi even offers that turbo kit for our car anymore..i know at one tim ethey did. I have a friend 10 min away from me with that turbo kit. Bought jason's old black fd and it had this setup on it. Works very very well.
