This is interesting.
Here’s a video of a stock turbo being flogged and clearly not happy in the situation we are discussing.

Here’s the same setup surging on acceleration. (PSA - don’t let your turbo do this. If you do, please post pics of the carnage.)

Don’t know yet. The warranty claim has to be made by the distributor that bought direct from BW so I have to retrace the steps my supercore took to get to me.

Well, it looks like a warranty claim, if it will even get off the ground, will take months. I will have to spring for a new turbo out of pocket to get up and running in the short term.

Boo. Check out this link for some of the better pricing at this time. I’m not pushing the linked turbo, it was just the easiest way to get you to their site. https://www.lmperformance.com/112235...ucer-8776.html

I asked about that. A genuine BW rotating assembly (turbine with shaft and compressor wheel) alone is 98% the price of a new turbo.
Not only is it not quick, it is currently in limbo because I have to trace the supply chain backwards to the distributor that first bought the supercore direct from BW and my first point of contact (TCS) is out of business.
I think these two posts cancel each other out nicely.

Yes. I think the 366 got pushed beyond its efficiency island.
