i cant believe you pushed a company's turbo to the "limit"...shame on you...you pay for another turbo!....wait...what??

honestly, i think that fp has put out great turbos in the past but, in your case, they neeed to own up to the fact that the turbo you bought was a total POS and replace it...either way i hope you get ur car back on the road soon, and im looking forward to seeing it in person.

Good luck dude

I think it was a weak part in side the turbo. Maybe a shaft or something with a hairline crack that got past inspection. That is my take on it at least. Becasue they use Harden steel and it is easy to not notice a little crack on stuff like that. We will see thos Larry He mailed it in Yesterday.

Pretty sure it was a bearing failure but really idk yet. It didn't have a hint of play when I put it on.
