Wrong and wrong......
In the old days Oils would "Coke" and leave carbon deposits on the turbine end of the shaft this would destroy a turbo fairly quickly.
These days we have water cooled CHRA's and much improved Oils.
I have NEVER ran a TT and have never had a single turbo failure...
Bingo!
I didn't see that but all a 7M needs is a momentary interuption in pressure to touch a bearing and that begins the cycle and RK isn't far away....
Would be worth taking note of Aaron, in my car even with my 3/4 ripped 20 year old mounts I still didn't have a problem so I'm guessing it's the 89+ update cars that suffer.
Would be nice if the people with smashed shrouds could post details.
Fuzz: Yep got to the point with mine after 700ft/lbs of torque I had to do something to help it hook on the street.
Be interested to see Allan's Stroker NA when it's done as well as Jen's ITB NA motor dyno (should be posted tomorrow)
Fuzz: I dug out an old chart and with the operator rolling into the throttle to prevent it lighting the rears I was making 324 ft/lbs @ 2500 :)
So yes you can beat it.
(the route you're taking should blow your 150's out of the water)
Fuzz: Modern BB Turbos rule for that!
Back in the old days a 700 crank hp Turbo on a 3.0L I-6 might have made power from 6500>7000 and would have been a pig to drive.
