Can you understand what im trying to say? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83368-ceramic-coating-turbo/page/5/#findComment-1343054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the trend shows a link between failed turbos running higher than stock boost pressures and no bov ill happily admit I'm wrong and refit the 32mm turbosmart bov I have sitting on my desk in my office.

Red R6 Donating Members 41 Member For: 12y 6m 16d Posted 01/01/13 07:05 AM Share Posted 01/01/13 07:05 AM Its not about right or wrong I just want people to understand there is a risk by not having some form of bov. I posted the garrett link due to the amount of turbo's they handle each year and is a good source for all sorts of info (if you want to get right into turbos they have compressor maps there too so you can pick the exact turbo you need rather then going through what you have in your sig "You need to replace your tuner. Pretty common fault on these cars"). With regards to the thread it may be hard to find exact cause due to the possible sources of failure as you would know and the fact that I doubt many here would have send their broken turbo's to places like MTQ or Garrett when they fail to find the exact cause.

Take breath have a look around and be willing to accept that people will have different opinions and experiences out in the real world.

Can't, felt like it spooled quicker via the butt dyno. But at the time I had no means of data logging to prove it.

As for performance improvement maybe on a F1 engine.
