Turbo vibration on spool up?

[mrloudly]

Anyone reckon it'd be possible to feel a modern turbo vibrating through the chassis/car as it spooled up?

My guess is for this to happen, there'd be smoke, flames and lot's of swearing after first feeling it ;-)

What do you think?

Impossible, seeing as you should also not be able to feel the crankshaft in your engine rotating.

It would make a slight squeak and then stop

How long will a ball bearing unit in a turbo last with no oil pressure before it chews itself to pieces?

At full tilt? Fractions of a second...
