Ok just like the title says i have been having problems lately i have blown pretty much 4 turbos and a motor the this year. but the motor is fixed and has a fresh 6 bolt in it but the last two months i have blown two brand spanking new 50 trim turbos i have no clue what the hell is going on i sent one back to slowboy and the sent a brand new one back but while waiting for the 1st one to come back i bought another one so i could have the car for nopi so on the way back from ATL to MD i blew the second 50 trim. Now that trubo is on its way back to slowboy again, but has any one ever had this problem. A good shop has installed it and did all my motor work they are a really good shop for DSM StemarMotorsports did all of my work soo we are kinda clueless if any one has any ideas could you let me know thanks a bunch
 
By blown do you mean that you had bearing failure? Where are you getting your oil feed line from for the turbo? You might not be getting enough oil pressure for the bearings if it's sourced from the head like the 1G's do. If it's sourced from the oil filter housing make sure the line isn't clogged.
 
you shouldnt just get a turbo and beat the piss out of it. bearings need to set in and take it to high boost doesnt let them seat in and wear in. belive me many people tke there new turbos boost then to 20 psi and a month later they have shaft play.
