Yeah someone had a good idea when they made this video… they should have just left it as an idea though. When you have 40psi of oil pressure, 200 degree oil, 35 psi of boost, a shi#t ton of exhaust pressure (I forget the numbers I was taught by the big guy) and a turbo spinning tens of thousands of rpm’s with a 40,000 lb load on your back you will find a lot more leaks than 50 psi of air spinning a turbo a couple thousand rpm’s will find. Not to mention i hope you had an oil supply to your turbo when you tried this. I’ll be damned if I would spin my turbo that fast with no oil supply for that long.
