New Mod?!
Hows this sound? Have the shaft between the turbo wheels plated with titanium nitride. The plating will reduce wear of the shaft and FRICTION! If you can reduce friction the wheels should spool up faster and maybe even give you higher RPMS on the turbo.

How would you coat the shaft with teflon? Ti NI is harder than carbide and should out last teflon, maybe.

The turbo is still gonna die above 35 psi anyway. The thrust bearing is the big hitter in turbo life.

What makes you say it will die above 35 psi?

The lowest price I found for a rebuilt stock turbo was about 900.00 and some after markets go for like 2000.00!

What do you mean by real thrust bearing?
