A bent shaft usually results from compressor surge or inadequate bov. What bov are you running? Is it adjusted? Many people adjust them way too stiff and hurt turbos.

What do you think the bov is there for? If it can't release enough air when the throttlebody is closed the Turbo can suddenly Stop or even reverse direction. These forces are huge. Especially on a high boost setup. I will be using a TiAL 50mm bov on my GT35R setup.

Never been adjusted. It isn't my bov. And there is no compressor surge taking place. A bent shaft can be the result of improper balancing. Also, like I said in my op. A bent shaft is just my uneducated geuss.

Doubt BOV. Have yet so see a shaft bend on a mitsu turbo from comp surge and I have heard alot of that in my day. On my EVO in Drag form I run my IX BOV backwards which surges the turbo very bad and have chopped the gas at 40+ psi spikes and the turbo is still fine. I feel the stock IX BOV is the best road course BOV you can run so that is why I do the flip if I go past 27psi for the drag strip. Only run 25psi spike on the road course.
FP should take good care of you.

Sucks man, it shouldnt have blown, they should take care of it..... They do last my jb red has almost 50 k on it on pump tune but still....personally I would run an oil change or two....once its been replaced before beatin on it.....if it went bad I can imagine that the rest of the engine may have been exposed to the higher oil temps. Id do it for piece of mind. Good luck.

Atleast you bought it new and have a warranty. Seeing alot of these threads makes you scared to buy these stock frame turbos used. Would suck to end up with a 1500-2000$ paper weight since you have no warranty.
