Re: Custom Turbo Setup

So without proper oil scavenging I destroyed the bearing in the turbo which then seized the blades. So, It took me 3 months to get the system running right and it took me 2 hours to turn the rig back to stock. For about 30 seconds I contemplated a supercharger setup. I think I'm going in a different direction now.
That sucks! Keep us posted on the progress...
