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?

i also am wondering if my tune may have had something to do with it i have had a chance to look at my run files from yesterday and i did see detonation during boost not a lot but it was definatly there. i hope it isnt the oil restictor i put that on to protect my turbo from blowing out the oils seals. the turbo it self has no play what so ever up and down it only has back and forth play. i am also wondering if maybe when i was pushing it to 17 psi if that had negative effects which killed the turbo.
