yup...
a 4" diameter turbo spinning at 100k RPM has a rim speed of 1,189 MPH, OK the MB turbo is smaller, and won't be at full RPM at say 2,500 engine RPM, but even so, it is a very good analogy to something in between extreme bead blasting and water cutting.
Basically it is a great way to kill a turbo very fast indeed.
