Re: Why do I keep blowing turbos?

Thanks for the video, Matt; I am most certainly not having compressor surge.

That's a very good point. The car's been running so well I never did a leak check after I swapped the turbos. I will do that before firing up the next one.

Based on the information everybody has kindly provided, I do believe my best choice at this juncture is to purchase a different turbo and run oil from the head if it's Mitsu framed.
