Default My Car's Power Steering Pulley Exploding On The Dyno

Figured id post some LOL material, around 6500 rpm my power steering pulley decided it had enough and went grenade mode. Shrapnel went through the metal upper radiator hose as well as the radiator.

BIG THANKS TO THE GUY THAT DONATED ME A POWER STEERING PULLEY. YOUR A LIFE SAVOR.

bahah yea at first all i saw was black flying plastic, and the first thing i thought of was wtf did my intake just explode, how is that even possible on N/A Setup.

and as much as it sucked i was still pretty happy that it wasnt the engine tranny or rear end lol.

Im just glad noone got impaled or nothing
