EDIT: The turbos in the other thread I was reading were “eBay Chinese turbos”. They were not from a respected company. Updated below. But I think it would still be useful to list the install errors can cause premature turbo failure.
———————————————————
I was just reading another thread about how a member’s upgraded turbos failed after just 3000km. I immediately suspected installer error, but have no proof. So I’m asking people to report any first-hand knowledge, evidence, experimental data, etc. of turbos prematurely failing because of an installation error.
(Part of my interest in this topic is that I’m thinking about installing my own upgraded turbos when my stockers fail, and want to avoid making any dumb mistakes and having to do it all over again.)
Thanks in advance for your contributions.
