Who has picked up the bill for these repeated failures?
Although I agree that these are not engineered very well, we have to bare in mind that the turbo worked fine on the engine as it left the factory. What has changed in the period between?
If your feed/return are proven & the pick up is clear, then other factors need to be confirmed. Oil pressure & flow rates, for example.
Pressure values are quoted in many data systems, although you might have to rely on common sense, for evaluation of flow rates.
Many replacement turbo failures caused by foreign objects entering the compressor fan. Another thing that is often overlooked, is the oil residue remaining in the intercooler or associated pipework. An engine running at full pelt, on engine oil is not a good thing.
I am not saying that these points are relevant to this thread, but they are certainly relevant to the motor trade in general.
Cheers
Dave
