Water cooled exhaust housings are common in marine applications. I always thought one would be nice on a heavy tow rig.

I was thinking that too. I see water cooled housings every day on industrial CNG fired engines. Problem is my cooling system is already having problems with my engine mods as it is without adding more heat from the turbo housing.
Would be good in the winter though..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It kind of seems like a solution to a non-existent problem.
