im still leaning toward improper turbo assembly. intake side was loose and gave way under load. thats the rational explanation. clogged oil line could be a issue as well but since the cartridge is intact makes it doubtfull. when the turbo is out and on the table we might see something else that could be the cause.

here are my newest photos the turbo is off the car
when the wheel exploded it came out the discharge pipe and took out my ABS wire
cracked center cartrige
It does not show up very well in these photos but it is cracked all the way around
looks like a gunshot
bent snap ring
impact on my brake caliper
impact on the top of the A arm and cut anti lock brake wires

Well APS will be open tomorrow. So I would expect Peter to stop lurking and give you some kind of answer. I understand he is on vacation and not at work so he will be hesitant to post.

aight....can we stop with all the speculation please. now you're actually questioning if this guy is legit?? c'mon now. dont be rediculous. they have sold and delivered every kit they said they would. there is no evidence to back up that this is a "kit" problem. give them a break untill they have a chance to respond please.

Correct me if I am wrong David Inall is the same person who ripped people off?

I stand corrected on that. But seems Admin knew of his past and still allowed them on this board. Proof: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ll#post1929400 Hell just do a search on the name and you will see countless threads.
There is no backing around here. Hell look at OFI I got fucked over and so did 3 other people and where is OFI today? Still here. I had to basicly give my kit away cause of all the bullshit.
