I run a non-watercooled cartridge personally. Been on the car for 10k miles. I'm to lazy to run water lines.

the only time your gonna really need to run a water line through your turbo is if you have a dual ball bearing turbo.

The advantages of running the water line though is that it helps the oil to not break down as fast, but if you have an inadquate cooling system for your car, it can heat up the motor a little more.
