Message let's just see how long it runs for...
I've got the resources and skill to swap turbos in a weekend, but I'd rather not spend a weekend every year swapping turbos. Not to mention the $1000 in materials. As a "business man" I'd think you would have weighed the opportunity cost of not installing the water lines against the possibility of having to replace your turbos earlier.
That said, I am sure that by being very careful about warming up and cooling down your turbos you should get a decent lifespan out of them. When/if they go, please come back and admit it. This community will think much more of you for it, and it will provide a datapoint for the next guy that thinks of trying it. By all means keep coming back with updates. Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Someone has to do the sweating.
