That poor turbo has seem some things! I have logs showing it hitting over 50psi and 160k RPM shaft speed.... those were not intentional, but the turbo is still alive and kicking!

We got this thing running 37-38psi up at elevation, pushing about 150k RPM and so far she's taking it like a champ with another 20% wastegate left! How high should we go?

Some "tuners" just 100% gate it. I guess 100% to see if it survives those guys.

I feel attacked.
Just get a typhoon after they successfully test it at 100% WG.

That’s asking for trouble on this one.

Come up to 8k’ and show me the powaaa.
Is this a built motor or just studded?
Thanks for saving me the time, lol. This thing is making some substantial sauce tho.

She's definitely making some jam 
Beyond happy with the outcome. Lag is surprisingly non-issue at elevation, still hitting 39psi by 4300rpm. The downside is that as she sits on street tires, I can blow 4 tires off in 1st and 2nd without much thought, and if I do any roll-on's in 3rd I also blow all 4 off. I have drag radials on my 18" wheels, but I'd like to get at least one full season out of them. lol
