Mind you, I haven't tried to see if I could keep a hold of the bolt while revving the motor.. I value my fingers too much..

That's the turbo I have also. They say mitsu turbos run larger clearances than garretts. Maybe that's why we can get away with holding it at idle?

Its Chris's girly motor with no exhaust energy....
I tried it on mine with the partial bridge, you could see the comp wheel, getting Like a "kick" with every "brap" the motor made, and thats what kinda made me want to grab the comp nut to see what the kick was like, its amazing how much power that is in every pulse even at idle.. I'll to try it now with the undivided T51 and see if its the same, I doubt it though with a q trim wheel in there...max

YOU CHEATED!
You slowly grabbed the center nut to slow it down before it stopped!
Try and allow the wheel to get to top speed and then quickly grab the fins...
