Default drilling holes on my compressor housing

What do you think. I have nothing to lose if i mess up i can get one for 200 bucks which i need anyways... Has anyone drilled holes in the shroud by them selfs. If so how was it..

If you dont know i have horrible surging issues at WOT of i go past 20psi on my GT35R....

Here's a stupid question: Why are you drilling hole/s in your turbo?

that was a stupid question. Search for anti-surge covers and ported shrouds. from my understanding it widens the efficiency island to prevent surging.

send it in to get done...yo

no it didn't make me feel smarter. The only thing dumb is not asking a question. I was just flicking you sarcastic ****, because you dogged on yourself before anyone could. lighten up bud, we're all friends here.
