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

on your profile, you have an Emanage ultimate listed. (again i state that im not a rocket scientist at this turbo stuff) but, is there any chance that an inproper tune would cause premature failure of a turbo? Ive always heard of poor tunes being attributed to blown motors, and such. But if as u say, everything is flowing and your presure is fine, then i really dont know. Maybe oil restrictor?
