toasted another ct-26 Options

[blckcelica95]

Just toasted my second ct-26 50 trim, in approx 5000 miles. i know im not having oil issues , or any cooling issues. What could be the reason these are failing. Also if i were to switch to another turbo what turbo would you guys suggest. i am looking for something that is going to spool fairly fast but be able to produce 17 psi whitout any problems

turbos dont just "go".. i honestly want to say, there is an oil problem, or a cooling issue

Something about your setup is blowing the turbos.
How do you know the turbo is shot to begin with?

yesterday i took it out for a run , let it warm up like usual, did everything normal. boosted it a couple times and noticed dirty white smoke coming out of the exhaust. which is the same color smoke it made when the other turbo's thurst bearing went. i then checked for play and it has devolped conciderable play when pushing and pulling towards the exhuast housing , so back and forth play not up and down play. the turbo also has started leaking oil threw the seals. i always let the car spool down for at least five minutes after driving it. i have really good oil pressure, and the line that supplys the oil was clean last time i checked it. also when i blew the last turbo i changed my bov to the new hks bov becuase i wanted to make sure i wasnt having some type of compressor surge issue.
