As Andrew notes, they're poorly engineered.....

The intermediate shafts for all the manual transmission turbos, both LPT, FPT, & Aero, are the same. Fredrik's car uses the same intermediate shaft on his '98. His engine uses a GTBB30 that gets close to 500 hp. Horkan's uses the TD06-24T Mitsu' and gets 450 hp - he's never had a problem with his intermediate shaft. My '94 had much milder tuning (only 309 hp) and I never experienced a problem with my intermediate shaft, in over 25k miles. I really wouldn't worry about the intermediate shaft, Yaofeng. However, I wish all cars were so badly engineered! It's the same with Saab engines: the LPT, with 170 hp, uses the same pistons, rods, and crankshaft that Fredrik and Horkan have in their +450 hp beasts.
