As long as you don't turn out to be Ryan Heinrich. Im good. I don't need any more idiots poking at me.

I am not fussed too much on going over the turbo overspeed limit. We will take it till they either send an exhaust wheel out or stop making power.

If the g40's don't get us to our boost target, we will find another turbo that does. unfortunately precision and some of the other companies don't provide compressor maps etc so this was the closest turbo I could find that comes close to our goal.

no, I’m not him

the issue with overspeeding the Garrett G-series is the aluminum compressor wheel will eventually come apart due to them spinning faster. It will keep making power beyond that limit is where most people get caught out with not having a speed sensor installed. Which I didn’t recall seeing them installed on your application. Again wishing you the best and looking forward to your final results!

No speed sensor on this one since I know we wouldn't stop at their limit anyway on this particular car. Only time will tell. I suspect we will find other bottle necks but I don't know yet.

When you go that high in boost on rotary you quickly find other limits.
