[Diy_efi] This turbo assist stuff, suggestions

[Matt Porritt]

Ceramic wheels in the Garrett GTs? Maybe in some factory applications yes
(GTS25T etc) but the aftermarket stuff we use is all steel.
Ceramic tends to fall off with as little as 14psi on GTSTs etc (I quote the
boost pressure as the shaft speed I've not yet measured)
Looking at just over $1k us each.. Not too bad really.

You running a RB30ET Mike?
