For power, the intercooler. For lower exhaust temps, the water injection. Both will lower temps and give more power, but the intercooler will add a lot of power and lower EGT's a little where the water injection will lower temps a bunch (depending on how much water you use) and add a little power.
Has someone said "take your pick - one or the other"? If not I would use both.

How high are they?
What is your turbo and pump combination?
What is your injection pump timing set at?

If you are happy with its performance just spray a fine mist of water a foot or more ahead the turbo inlet. I would guess 15 ounces in 15 seconds to start with. Nothing fancy or expensive for a pump or nozzle. See what happens if it brings the temps down to 1700 then adjust to 20 ounces. Add water until you get to 1500 - 1600 degrees. That should be a safe number 1300 - 1400 even better. Anything over 20 ounces you may need to inject it after the turbo. Cheapest way to go to get things cooled off. Yes a looser turbine housing may help too, but I would use a little water first and see how it runs before changing any hard parts.
