Yep, those borg warners with extended tip technology and split pulse sure do spool nice and early without surge.

I wonder if the tc series turbos are more susceptible to end float wear as their bearing setup isnt the best. Thats why mine is being rebuilt by gtpumps, excessive end float. However the turbo is almost 10 years old and has been running 18 psi 220rwkw for 3 years now without a bov.

lol of course its impractical on a street car, just giving an example of where in competition bov aren't used.

As for the nizpro interview, i dont know if it is how i am reading it but doesnt it sound like he is contridicting himself?
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.
