Better yet, Drive around gently for a few minutes--better oil flow to the bearings & better air flow
to cool the turbo, oil & engine. (This is one of the reasons I'm not a particularly avid fan of turbo timers).

ditch reason...
The BCS was surging on the highway during light acceleration (ie: going to MAX boost then MIN then MAX...) It was a bit annoying (my gf didn't even notice) but I didn't like it on my long trip from MI->NY.
But,
The BCS did incur a significant performance increase over stock.
any questions?

After chipping those things really glow don't they :) Funny thing is.....
My friend has a 97 Supra Twin Turbo with a single turbo conversion (T68 i think) and no matter how hard you run that thing it will not get as hot as our Triple-K's?? I'm thinking it's probably the ball bearing making the difference
