Water cooling is marginally effective in a T3 because the cooling jackets have minimal surface area to dissipate heat. They do help to keep the oil from coking in the turbo if you shut it off when it's glowing hot. As long as you don't beat on it right before shutting it off, or let it idle for a minute before shutting it off after beating on it, you won't notice a difference.
