No leaks or blown turbo so far mang.
I run the coolant lines on my turbo, and I haven't noticed my engine running any hotter. I do run waterwetter though.

the waterwetter might help a little bit but i dont really think your engine will get noticeably hotter by running coolant lines .. i jsut dont think its worth the work for a 75 dollar t25 not to mention the turbo will be fine if you are using only oil to cool it
