Tim : You make a good point there. I built a TD06 with a titanium shaft and expected it to be really good due to the low inertia/weight compared with the steel shaft. I spent three days trying to find what was wrong. It had some boost but all done at .3 bar!!! Then it dawned on me. The EVO turbos spin in the opposite direction anyway and that is where the titanium shaft came from (or was it a Pajero). Cannot remember now. 
Was I hacked off. 
cookstar : You have to be careful because on a Subaru you could have an RSSE as Andy says and the problem is more prominent on cars with a 3" system and big ie 5" + tail can.
