Let us know what part number turbo they replace it with! Maybe you'll get that new G turbo [emoji41].

Sorry to hear. I'm sure you switched back to a stock mode before going back to the dealer. Did you leave the intake on?

Yeah, left the intake on. I also have other exterior mods that I left on as well.

Sorry about your loss bud. How long after you loaded the tune did the turbo fail? Also did it happen shortly after a cold start? Did you happen to notice what your oil temps were?

Thanks and excuse the questions. I am trying to piece certain things together.

Thanks, I had the tune on for the approximate 6k hard miles I put on the car. I don't drive it all too gentle. It was around 2 am and I was taking a study break to inn & out. Didn't let the car warm up too long about 5 minutes. After I let it warm up I drove just under a mile to the highway and after a few miles it gave out. I don't think the tune had had anything to do with the failure. I did not log the oil temp, but I do know it was about 35 degress F when it happened.

No worries, I'm always happy to answer any questions :)

Damn.... Looks like the turbos are simply just poorly designed or manufactured.

Were there any signs of failure? Like the siren noise or any whining on cold starts?

None, that's why I was so surprised. I typically check on my car every day, if not every other day for issue signs. I hadn't notice a single thing wrong. After it blew I heard the whine lol. I instantly knew it was the turbo, couldn't really get the car over 40mph, loud whine going over around 2300-3000 rpms and all the white smoke. A sad day indeed, but I hopefully get her back tomorrow, mechanic only needed the oil line to come in over the weekend.
