Default I'm thinking about wrapping a "stock" TBB with Kevlar tape and some sort of silicone adhiesive

to at least reduce the chance of a catastrophic failure that could also take out a turbo!

Default Bulletproof!! =) But.....

IMO if the unit is weak, then even wrapping it with kevlar ain't gonna stop the insides from tearing. A second issue would be to get the damn thing to fit on with out too many problems.....AND have enough kevlar/silicone to make it a meaningful addition.

If it ain't broke, why fix it...right? In this case.....it's gonna broke just make a new one =) Like that crazy metal one on the speedvision car =)<p>-Cheng
