[s-cars] Did I Damage My Turbo????

[Mihnea Cotet]

Douglas, if you can't hear any whining yet, I am sure you didn't damage
anything. What damages the most a turbo is to run it at high boost levels
(a la MTM 1+ for instance) with a boost leak, because the turbo will be
overspinning in order to give the boost the ECU wants to see. Otherwise you
should be fine!

HTH,

Mihnea
