Thats two failures out of what 10-15 kits? All the failures, even the ones on the BRZ seem to be snapped turbine shaft which is what rotrex were famous for a good few years ago.

So presumably any stalling created from the 'underspec bov' (our view not HKS of course) is only going to exacerbate this right?

That way, if they fit, all you have to buy is two standard rear wheels, not four (and have them machined for the larger centre bore). Mine is also lowered on Ohlins and I have no clearance issues .
How much did it cost to get your them bored out to 70.1mm?

I would imagine the air going back through the charger and trying to make the blades go backwards would not be good for the supercharger shaft but im no expert!

Well 3, if you count my mates that died too.. mine, this one and my friends

but its not the shafts that snap, but the threads that connect it all together wear away going by the BRZ thread - thinking back though i think my friend said his shaft snapped PLUS the threads wore away, no idea on mine other than it failed..

Wonder if enough of them fail that if they are out of warranty they will have to replace them FOC or refund?

My flutter is sorted now since being on the new charger, and i am staying well clear of the rev limiter, so if mine fails again :s
