I was also woundering paul if you guys do turbo repairs there i have the turbonetics t3/t4 turbo that came with the kit and the guy who i bought the kit from said the seals are blown , would you suggest on buying this precision turbo or getting this one repaired ?
You can have your turbo rebuilt by Turbonetics and also have them upgrade the center cartridge to water cooled. They also sell a water line kit. This solution seems to be working well for people. If you do get a new turbo get one that is water and oil cooled if you want to avoid problems as much as possible.

Also, you will need to clock the turbo. You can search on google for instructions on how to do that. It's very easy.
