Turbine speed guage,definitive overspeed protection.

Since there always is a concern of overspeeding the turbo in both stock and upgraded turbos, I'm offering the garrett turbine speed guage with machining for $415+ shipping.

It can be added as an option to your Stage kits (obviously) and now your BorgWarner turbo as well. Either the stock or wheel upgraded.
Then you can keep an eye on shaft speed,recall max speed etc.

It depends on the turbo Saoud, your GT30R will tolerate shaft speeds of up to 145,000rpm.

The borg warner unit reads in radians/sec. I'll convert it and post the max allowable.

I was told there would be no math.

1000 rpm = ~104.72 radians per second
1000 radians per second = ~9,549 rpm

Sorry math is always required! lol.

The max rpm allowable on the Borg warner turbo is 166,849 rpm.

It wasnt in radians/sec it was in m/s tip speed. my mistake.
