[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16612290, member: 168598"] Exactly! I think it's just a case of cheap chinese turbos. I've read most everything On3 sells is made in China. I have no complaints about the IC, manifolds and piping, everything fit and sealed perfect but the turbos are suspect. I have no idea why the drivers side died twice. I verified oil flow/pressure at both turbos. The drains go almost straight down and enter the pan well above the oil level. Only thing I can think of is the drivers side down pipe crosses over to the passenger side and merges with the passenger side so it may see more back pressure. Thanks for the reply. This is my first turbo build so I'm learning as I go. I'll see what On3 says but I'm leaning heavily towards just biting the bullet and getting some Precision Turbos. $5k CDN for a pair of ball bearing 60mm's thought....ugh! :eek: [/QUOTE]
