Garrett T3 turbo

just wondering if a Garrett T3 turbo (watercooled) from a 1984 Volvo 240 B21FT would be an alright choice for my turbo buildup or should I keep looking? I'm not looking for huge power gains or anything and my car will continue to be a daily driver.

Thanks

RE: Garrett T3 turbo

i would guess that watercooled would have the potential for more leaks since you'll have to run water lines (i would think) im still a boost newbie, but that kind of makes sense i think
