The bearing option definitely sounds like the way to go. Spool time would be better and performance would be improved. Good Luck.

Spoll time wouldn't improve just by switching to a watercooled bearing. It would however drop bearing section temps by about 300+ degrees F

Which I would think will help the blown seals that everyone seems to get right? It make since to me. Lower temps so less likely for things to low from heat.
Will the GT-K turbos have a water-cooled option?

Correct it would help prevent premature seal failure. The first batch of GT-Ks will not have a watercooled bearing section option but in the future yes they will...
