Big turbo question
i have a turbonetics godzilla and even it came with the flanges necessary to weld on.
if its a big horse of a project with all the cash flying around, just putting another 200 on credit wouldnt be that big to me.. so you dont have to take it right back apart in a week to do the valve. but hey just my thoughts.

I had to roll around for a few thousand miles with my new turbo without a BOV...the sound it makes when it's surging will make you cringe, but the bearings never loosened up, there was zero shaft play even when I sold it (with 30k on the turbo).

Yes, the Poopra has been a thing of my past for a few months now.

I think you'll be fine.

i would a rig a shitty stock dsm bov or something. though it wont really kill anything, one good boost spike and when u slam the throttle shut that reversion can unscrew the impeller... and well. voila. fucked turbo.
its a long shot, but it has happened. shad's t-66 surged hard enough to unscrew the nut and twist the shaft a good 40 degrees. is that a risk you are willing ot take?
and why the fuck do u need to drive 150 miles before u boost on it. that sounds pretty gay.

1. You don't know what kind of car I drive.
2. You drive a 15 year old Honda. Who are you to be calling other cars pieces of shit? (not saying mine isn't, just curious)
