Yeah, at least none that are blasting across corn fields with
hot rod awd Harvesters.

I hope you guys have a scatter shield on that turbo, cuz any
Garrett that I know of will be turning 200,000+ at a PR of 5.0.
My T04 (with ball bearing chra) is only good for 150k rpm,
according to the Turbonetics guys,  and it hits that at a PR
of less than 4.0 (not like I'll ever go that high).  Even
then the efficiency is falling off at a horrendous pace, so you
aren't gaining any density, just cooking the air.

So what's that?  3600 rpm? :)
