The exhaust isn't hot enough to coke the oil in your engine.

All TD shops I have talked to say there's no comparison in terms of better durability with water cooled turbos.
...and lasting 250k+ miles is a bad reputation for half a million MB's?

My system uses heat exchangers to heat the fuel.
Diesel and BioDiesel do not need to be heated. WVO is illegal on public roads.

So the first question is if anybody has done this with a KKK turbo
KKK and Garrett are not compatible at all. You have a T3 flange, your selection of turbos is nearly limitless with that flange, pick one that already has a water core. Don't try to hack stuff together when there are countless off the shelf options that will work better.
