ive read many debates of whether or not this is good for the turbo.
i first heard it on the ken nomuras blitz skyline and thought it was the blitz bov. i was wrong haha

i love the sound to death

well its bad for the turbo and performance.

slows the turbo down between shifts = more lag
eventually harms the bearings = oil leaks and turbo failure

not really anything good about it other than the sound, thats why higher end turbos are made with anti-surge housings, also to avoid spool up surge where the turbo trys to feed more air into the engine than it can take. pretty much same process as compressor surge just at different time.
