Damn. I wonder how much time they spent with the antilag on at one time to get it that hot. I used the 2step/antilag with my MS and the Hx40. I never have to stay on it for more than 5-6 seconds at a time to build 15+lbs even.
The turbine wheel looks spotless, even though I lost the bearings in the turbo from metal in the oil.

Metal in the oil is literally the #1 killer of turbos, and is what most of the ones I rebuild suffer from. On a Mitsu turbo the small hole in the thrust plate which supplies the cold-side with oil will almost always get plugged with metal from a worn engine, and that spells disaster for the turbo.

I think the owner of the turbos above would AntiLag it for long periods at redlights just to shoot some flames out the exhaust but wouldn't man up to it when I confronted them. No big deal, it's their money that gets spent on new parts- not mine!

Well i got a really old engine, (160,000 miles) so i hope it doesnt happen to my turbo. I replaced the oil line with a steel one and of course it goes from my 1g oil filter, so it should be filtered relatively well.

Mine came from a failed oil pump and spun rod bearing. I plan to run an inline filter now just for those O shit moments.


Showing off isn't worth a new turbine wheel to me. 5 seconds is plenty to get the point across anyway, .

it may be just me, but that doesnt look like the turbine of a 16g.. dont the fan blades stagger big to small big to small on it?

You are thinking of the compressor wheel it does have the staggered blades, the turbine wheel does not.

Last winter Bullseye Power was having a clearance sale on eBay.

I won a Bullseye internally-gated DSM Bolt-on 60-1 for $355, brand new....polished stainless exhaust housing and all.
