Stupid Question, Why do you have to do this?

We are not sure this was related to nitrous.....We were running a very small jet (35). The charger was getting tired and we have been overspeeding it for some time. The boost numbers were way over what the charger was designed for. A piece of the compressor wheel made it through the hood. Might need to look at reinforcing the hood for saftey's sake.
 
Sorry for the hi-jack. hpprose.

The rule says as close to the charger as possible because a turbine wheel could punch through the exhaust system at any bend after the turbocharger. This rule has been in effect for years.

I agree it could...But then why aren't the bolts required with a stock exhaust(Work stock class)?
