A R32 DET with antilag, WHY? Ceramic turbos = breakybreaky with any kind of pressure around the turbine.

Wish someone would make neon spinners, that would be the most hard case thing you'd probably ever see.

Hey you best make sure someone you know is taking a trailer if he's planning on using the anti lag - if it's ceramic turbo that is.
Me and b1 both know a guy who blew his turbo around turangi luckily i didn't have to ride back with but i think b1 did and said it was the slowest tri[ back from taupo ever - and if he's really unlucky he might find pieces of impeller end up in his motor as well.

Oh and btw i'm not going
