Broke down, but not before new PB

Had a hell of a good time at the track, weather was awesome. A lot of very nice cars were out tonight.
Anyways, since this was the last outing for the 75/74 turbo I threw everything I had at it. Removed passenger headlight and air filter (Racetruck stuff). The final pass I went into tow/haul azz mode at half track and locked the converter at 100 mph. Launches off the line were lazy intentionally, no spin. 2nd pass was hotlapped and the turbo **** itself, lost 3-4 psi from heat soak. Raceweight was 5045 per RPR's scale.
I'm feeling good, I go to leave, turn the key over and nothing! Thanks to a group of nice guys I had chatted with earlier we diagnosed the starter, I hit it with a hammer and it fired up. Pretty sure I killed it in the staging lanes, line was like a mile long and creeping along I had to start and shut down the truck like 10 times.

What turbo is this and how much boost you running?
