Default Tial MVR, water cool or not?

I've got two new tial mvr 44mm wastegates on my car. They can be watercooled. Would it be worth the effort to utilize this feature?

My last gate distorted, maybe from the heat, only reason I am concerned.

Thanks for your time,
DK

Dont worry about water cooling, when talking to them at PRI this was mostly for Boats where the engine compartment is completely sealed and things get HOT
