hi guys, i've seen on social media that people are cable tieing the vac line right next to the turbo on the 1.0 ecoboost to get a turbo flutter, i was thinking about doing it, but forcefully spinning the turbo the opposite way surely cannot be healthy for it. what do you guys think? thanks

    That's not what to do !!

    What you need is to put a lollipop stick in the turbo and it will sound just like a jet engine, just until the turbo explodes 🤣
