Thats cause your only running 8-9 psi. I have found anything over 15-16psi and they wont last long. Had 2 super 20g and another evo3 16g. First 20g made it 5000 miles at 10 psi so I turned it up to 23psi and it lasted another 300 miles before failing. Next one 20psi to start and made it 500 miles. 16g lasted 3000 at 18 psi. I have given up on ebay turbos if your tyring to make any real power they wont last long. The storys you hear of them lasting long are run at really low boost levels or have had the bearings replace with name brand ones instead of cheap ebay parts. But thats just my opinion.

My friend has been running a godspeed 20g for about 2 years now on 20 psi granted the car is broken down more than its running but i would say he has about 5k miles on it
