A new turbo....PTE's 6870

Pardon my ignorance, but having a turbo so close to the ground, would it be affected by water/rain? I understood that if cold water is splashed onto a hot metal

Pardon my ignorance, but having a turbo so close to the ground, would it be affected by water/rain? I understood that if cold water is splashed onto a hot metal that can cause it to crack. I know (at least I think) the housing is made of cast iron so when the car is driven when raining, what can possibly happen to the metal?

Never heard of a housing cracking, and there is over 100 of these kits out there. That would be the last thing on my mind to be honest.
