Compressor Surge Anyone? (Vid)

[SoSideways]

People that "run 20psi" on a T28, how often do you think they're hitting 20psi?

If you do that for a 1/4 mile drag, sure, fine, whatever, probably won't blow it up, but that turbo's lifespan will be shortened, guaranteed.

If you do that for a duration of a full 20 min hot lapping session for road racing, it might blow up after a couple of months if you race every week.

If you run that same turbo on like 14psi, but run no BOV, it'll last longer than a couple of months.

That's the difference.

Um, if I really wanted to do the above, who are you to tell me not to do it? It's my car, my turbo, my money?

PS - way to go trying to neg rep me corriganjoshua. Either you're retarded and don't know how to neg rep, or your neg rep did nothing to me because you have so many red squares, but nonetheless, thanks for the neutral rep.
