Greddy kit-oil lubricated/oil cooled = self destruction. Garret turbo-water cooled/oil lubricated= longevity. Spend the right money the first time and be happy or do like I did and get the Greddy kit, rebuild it no matter what and get lucky for a long lasting turbo. Like said above have 'just in case' money set aside.
