*Raises eyebrow*

Really curious about how a 363/68/.91 would compare to the 363 large turbine with the three stage turbonator

Lol. Nice of them to let you know. Given that there's a ton of BLDC motors all over AliExpress, it's odd to claim that your giving up due to supply issue.

Between this, the lack of speed sensor to prevent over speed, and kind of ignoring the disastrous effect the the VGT could have on a non VGT turbine wheel, just seems like a lacking product. More thorough efforts have been done in the Cummins community.

Hows the WS2 coating holding up?

My assumption is they are using supply chain issues as an excuse and it’s really driven by issues with their system and now they are on version 2.0

Borg Warner's own literature describes the SXE line as being very overspeed tolerant. My blown S366 was a result of surge I feel.
I have not had the Turbonator apart since I applied the WS2 so I can't really tell you.

Yup. That is everyone's favorite scapegoat these days. At this point, I would desribe it as more like version 20.

After all you have been through with that company, their tone toward you is like the morning after.

Even if it is a little late to have insisted that they provide coverage, are you going back to them for the blow operation with your onboard air?

Nope. I am now looking into electropneumatic indexers with a homebrew controller though.
