are the turbos in the sp kits water-cooled or is this an extra option

Extra option.

Only Steve Jarvis has done it out of the 40-50 turbos we have sold this year.

Turbo runs much cooler, since it's now getting lubricated both by oil (which cools it down as well), and washed down by water (coolant). Coolant temperature is a constant 180-190F, so that means way cooler than the temperature inside the turbine, and cooling effects are excellent. Some people speculate that turbos that are both water and oil cooled last twice as long, compared to oil-cooled only....but that might be a little bit too enthusiastic of a claim. I would definitely opt for dual cooling, if it was an option (and reasonably priced). Stock MKIV turbos are both water and oil cooled.

so is it easy to use the water lines that are used in the stock turbos to help feed the new one ???

or is it a pain?
