Some bigger turbos have steel, Ive seen hx82s with steel. BUT 99% are aluminum...

Which is the coolest looking thing you have ever seen in your life when polished.

What chargers have those anyway?

The 11" s400 covers. Very rare.

Magnesium sounds like a fire hazard under the hood.........

....I assume they are a less reactive alloy than pure magnesium.

Any pics of polished magnesium?
