I get the 2 confused (Texan problem), it got lots of board coverage locally, was reported multiple times on multiple local boards - you'd have thought it was 3 different turbos. Dunno, was somewhere west of Texas

I dunno why, but there are some people out there that really get excited and happy when a FP turbo explodes. They are not indestructible contrary to legend

Someone once told me if you just had the motor rebuilt, crap in the oil galleys of the fresh engine could cause it.

Left over debris will stay inside the oil cooler also. I throw away oil coolers that come off rod bearing and oil pump failure engines, do not try to reuse them.
