Bigal

1994 celica GT.....3sgte in a month! all helpers are welcome!!! i live in Plattsburgh, NY.
JDM ceramic ct-26

my st205 swapandour Beams swap
the ceramic spools faster and i THINK gives a lil' more power but the steel is alot more durable

bboy

..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi..
pics of couple ceramics blowing up at high boost. but people say you can have strong ones or old worn ones. no clue.

the ceramic turbine '26 will spool typicly abit sooner, although there is debate about it being more fragile than the steel counterpart.
IMO i doubt one would just "shatter" for no apparent reason, but if for some reason somthing was to come in contact with it...well...i think you can use your own imagination from there...lol
+1 for whatever turbo of the 2 is in better overall condition.

funny thought: "but if for some reason somthing was to come in contact with it...well...i think you can use your own imagination from there...lol"

turbo has a warning label on it, "dont insert finger, or anything thing your imagination could come up with, in here! LoL" (And it has LoL on the label)
