Has anyone ever heard of a rule that states that you must have cross bolts on the INTAKE side of a turbo charger? |

That's why I put the question out there because I have never heard of it until this year either. |

There was rumor of a new rule that would require cross bolts in a air intake horn that comes out through the hood. The idea would be that if the shaft broke the wheel couldn't exit the tractor never heard anything other than a rumor |

I can see the reason for this. Saw a truck loose the turbo fri night at mackville, had intake in headlight and wheel came out front. Had been a small pull with people close to track can see potential for somethin bad to happen |

My truck was the one that blew the turbo in mackville and the wheel did not come out it stayed inside the compressor housing |

Seen a turbo wheel come apart out of tractor and cut up flagmans shoulder at a local pull. Waked me up. Kept ours behind grill after that. No laughing matter |
