Does turbo under boost have any axial load?

Lol. I would not recommend trying that. That's a quick way to have your friends call you stumpy. The first time you run one under power, you'll see what I mean. That said, when I was doing my testing, even mounted to the relatively heavy aluminum test bracket, it would easily fly off under power. I typically try to ratchet strap them down. Even a lead-acid car car battery isn't enough to weigh them down. I have used a car battery and several 20 lb sand bags - that seems to be enough. Now, keep in mind, that's thrust from the discharge. There's no way I'm putting anything near the inlet. I'm certain it could suck Simon (my cat) in pretty easily.

I was checking all your and "wb projects" videos and saw him switching on turbo not secured in place. Yes it moved radially from discharge, but I haven't noticed any tendency to move axially towards inlet
