Turbo blown/issue

[slin]

These things should last more than 6 months regardless of the tune.
Maybe just got unlucky.
I don’t know if warm up procedure makes a difference.
Plenty of non turbo cars get driven hard from cold without issue, warms them up quickly...
But not advisable to get on the turbo boost without the coolant reaching operational temperature as advised by my dealer.

Could be time for a Hybrid? We have IS20 based ones that really perform well, although the IS38 480 is probably where you'd go really.

Available as journal, like stock, or with ball bearing CHRA. Everything is new inside, not just wheel swaps.

I have recovered a hot wheel and most of a shaft from the resonator on a a MK7R after a failure. Was a lot smoky on the dyno as we tuned it. (decatted).

message the FB page if you'd like to see more details.
