again :) its diffrent between a daily car n a race or rally car , maybe if your workshop has a rallycar then u would understand more, rules n regulation , FIA rules no bov's allowed , followed by NLTS system tht mostly cars use , some teams use true hardware anti lag system , some use EMS anti lag system by manipulating with electronic , ignition timing n etc , in where they do not see vacuum while they race cause their systems are constantly producing boost
bt the fact is , every race , the turbo's are inspected and changed if needed, no matter if they need to sleep on the mud n change them or while lying on the floor, u do need to go to the scene to get the better picture , and YES , 1 hour is more than enuff to switch turbo's , its HOT and YES it is changed frequently for turbo fitted rally cars , with new turbo technology anti-surge compressor housings were also designed to reduce surges. Even in zth we have a few ppl connected to the malaysia rally world , bt maybe the topic jst interesting enuff for them to pop in , mell_amir & silver night supplies turbo's and car parts to rally teams , cipan_supercas also tuned several rally cars in the malaysia scene, ask them , follow them , experience it, see it to understand more :) In the WRC their budget are not the rm2k-3k turbos, they spent alot more just for their turbo setups , n thts the HUGE diffrent between running daily and a running a race :) , with compressor surge u reduce lifespan of the turbo , doesnt mean it will break it immediately, REDUCE is the keyword here
and PBV is not a wrong term

, its PLUMB BACK VALVE :P

(since u want some humour in posts , rolls on the floor laughing, yeah plumb it back on u lol PBV style while i passby your house), also can call it diverter valve , compressor bypass valve n etc
nah a short description of wht a WRC car has and u dont have on a simple OEM system
in their case, they do have antilag system to overcome the lag and BOV's are banned by FIA rules, wanna know why banned please google them to know the whole story, malas want to paste them.
and FYI rally cars dont boost high :) , if u managed to explode your turbo , its most probably a high boost application , in daily low boost cars with compressor surge , its all about reducing lifespan :) , Mitsubishi , SAAB , AUDI, VOLVO , SUBARU wouldnt have spent millions or maybe billions in research n manufacturing them n fitting them in the cars for nothing :)
another common issue for the flutter sound in the turbocharging world, a stiff bov tht would not leak under high boost will usually flutter at low boost, the common types of PBV's arent pull type's , so with stiff springs, they will refuse to open up at low boost cauging the flutter,

about compressor surge and breaking the turbo , yes experience a few running 2bar+ on daily drive cars , compressor at tht boost levels with a poor designed turbo will definately play a big role on wear n tear of the turbo , the turbo could lead into wear of thrust plates and followed by freeplay and then there you go hitting the blades to the housings , if the turbos are frequently checked for freeplays , they can be serviced n etc
apart from this compressor surge issue
a few more reasons for shafts to snap ,
ceramic turbine wheel which do not stand high pressure which will chip off , causing imbalance and then followed by destroying the turbo, if nt mistaken thts wht the rb25's and 1jz twin turbo's are facing, correct me if im wrong
imbalance match of shaft and compressor wheel n etc , can also cause em
and sometimes its also design , the Holset series , frequently reported in the DSM world , tends to snap , the turbine wheel chips off first

wuish, of cos not damage the fin la wei, no one said fin la bro, chill chill
its wear on the thrust plates mainly, *turbo sifu's can tell more* , which will lead to next and next :)
