I'm planning 350bhp shortly via a hybrid, is chatter gonna damage my new turbo? And in general, why do they get damaged by this?
the damage is caused by the compressed air being forced back through the compressor housing. this causes the chatter or fluttering sound as the blades are still spinning after delivering the boost. the bigger the boost pressure - the bigger the potential damage.
it not so much about the bhp figure its more what boost pressure you will be using. think i read the other day that a sustained 24 psi tends to blow up these T3's!
