100% on that one or rather two! FP FTW
it happened to me exactly as you say!!!

possible reasons include over spinning turbo, turbo out of balance, trash in oil, or oil quality not high enough. Blouch will likely blame you and not warranty turbo. Even when it may have been turbo builders fault. This is where FP shines. no questions asked warranty first failure.

Bought CBRD Turbo cause were suppose to be such a great quality turbo`s for a pump gas. 2 weeks passed and turbo blown. Thank for the input guys, glad I`m not alone and there is so hard to reach CBRD guys. I guess I can just hang it on the wall. Now I don`t think I`m confident to buy any aftermarket turbo. I guess I have to go back to stock for now

Well maybe you missed it but thats OK
I`m glad you contacted me, Thank you for a quick reply. I installed my new BBK-B on my car 2 weeks ago approximately 200miles. It was tuned by AMS Perfromance and professionallyinstalled with all new water lines and oil line feed you provided. I started hear a whistling/wining noise from the turbo and no boost at all so I got scared pulled over and towed the car to the shop They see the shaft is bent. AMS performed a boost leak, I got Synapse Valve I have no idea what went wrong. Invoice #5908, dated 10/20/2010. Please help tell me what are my options now.

ok, we are now in contact with the original owner-

there are some basic facts here-

1. Second Owner turbo
2. covers were removed for chroming and porting
etc etc..

We are going to get the turbo back regardless to see what we can do to keep a BBK turbocharger on Wally's car

Cheers
