I've read that #1 and #2 runners are the hottest and #2 was easier to get to.

I guess it couldn't withstand the heat so it got out of the... uh... kitchen... I'm so sad, I'm going to need a new turbo.

yeah i'd contact the manufacturer and see what they say. These things should not be breaking and this isn't the first time i've heard of this.

They just break. It has been happening for years. If you don't want to put the tip of an EGT probe through your turbine, don't run an EGT probe in front of your turbine. That is the only way to absolutely guarantee that it won't happen.
