So today i pulled the turbo off my rb25. Saturday it blew right after a boost controller was installed. It only boosted up to 7.5 psi and this is what happened. Now i know not to use the boost controller until i get an aftermarket turbo. I guess these ceramic turbos werent meant to be boosted more than stock psi

looks like now you can use a boost controller on that new turbo.

seen this happen on GT-R Turbos.

Some one probably beat on it pretty hard in its past time.

the stock rb26dett turbos are notorious for this.
