Not saying it's cause the failure, but it doesn't look right to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is mine with the earls line you installed. the pw kit and the gt76 is my first round of mods as in the vid. I installed it the same as you put it in the first time with out plumbing tape on the oil inlet to the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You state a few times that there has been adequate oil flow I state that "if" that radius bend was impeding oil flow that the turbo's would of lasted hours maximum not years ... I didn't fit your GTX turbo but I did help you out getting it cheap, I'm not sure what you're implying except that I "could" of "maybe" ( allegedly ) installed an oil line with not great aesthetic value on your original turbo ( GT3576 ) you have my phone number and you can ring me whenever you want, I've been enquiring on your failed GTX and Don's to see if anything at all could be done in your favour and Don's ( BenDoCo ) is the only one who has returned his potential failed unit to the place of purchase ( MTQ ) for an official inspection. the results of this inspection from Professional Garrett turbocharger technicians is the fact his unit has NOT failed but has a "noisy" bearing pack. So in conclusion a fully rebuildable/serviceable unit that will incur a fraction of th cost of a new unit. I personally spoke with Donald ( BenDoCo ) this week and informed him of the situation that he had no idea of, I've done this off my own back to "help out" and did not have to. I further gathered more information from him regarding serial numbers from the turbo in question What if anything would you like me to do from here for you when you have not taken it in for an inspection ?

Ive been running a restrictor at the turbo end that has like a 6mm hole maybe slightly smaller for like 3 years, no problem. BB turbo dont need a huge amount of oil. Draining is very important though, I imagine with the bolt on gtx the drain and feed were orientated perpendicular? Did you pull the return line to the sump and inspect it when first turbo died biz? Are you seriously pointing the finger at jet? im not rushing to defend him (fark him) but none of those photos are convincing me, and im not sure which pic ralphs comment about a tight radius was based on? appear to be no pics prior to his comment? also didnt stigmata help don install his, it died? purchased at same time as yours? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pointing the finger at anyone. I just take pics of everything I do so I dont do anything different. Dont have pics as my phone died 6months ago. So if its a noisey bearing pack shouldn't that be garretts probably to fix and not the customer. So if its just noise its fine to drive (safe) or not.
