If the owner gives me permission I can post exactly what happened. We looked at the car and turbo today. Disassembled it. We've been working with turbo's for years and have seen just about every failure

I have never seen a turbo quite that loose. Unfortunately the failure is simply from running a BB turbo with no filter. Although you may get lucky running a BB turbo with no filter its a horrible risk. 50$ could have saved that 1500$ turbo. I dont think anyone who sells BB turbos will even think about honoring a warranty if turbo is run without one. Owner of the car ran BB turbos for 35k miles with no filter and no issues. Unfortunately that luck ran out. Shame. Would have really liked to see the results from Jesters majic. Hopefully another day.

It's not the video you're thinking of. It's a video I took while driving back to Orlando... Nothing special
