Turbo Takes a Dump Yet AGAIN!

[EclipseGST]

Well after a fun friday night with Vassil and Jed helping me get my car running, also some support from Shane over the phone which I really appreciate, everything was going good until a sudden loss of power and a bit of knock was encountered on DSMLink. My last pull ended up being the killer. Pulled great @ 17psi flowing 38.1 lbs/min and then it just let go. No more power at all and my boost gauge wouldnt go past 0. After that I was seeing about 7 counts of knock and my air flow wasnt doing anything so I pulled into the garage and said fuck it for trying to make it to the track today.

Well tonight I pulled the oil pan and everything checked out just fine. No bad rod bearings, main bearings were all good, ran a compression test and it came back 163-163-164-163 so I was stumped. Decided to take the head off to figure out why I lost so much power and was seeing knock. Well as I am doing so I first pull of the turbo and decided to check it out cause something was burning oil. Pull off the O2 housing and the exhaust wheel snapped AGAIN!!! This time right at the wheel instead of at the compressor wheel. So I am not very happy with Diesel Components right now. When they rebuilt it they replaced the turbine wheel and shaft, all new bearings, back plate and compressor plate. Everything seemed as if they did a good rebuild but out of know where the exhaust wheel just snaps. Gauranteed nothing went thru it, all the bearings in the turbo are still good, no shaft play, no in and out play because part of the turbine wheel backing is still holding the shaft in, its perfect except the fact that the turbine wheel was in the O2 housing. If I didnt have an O2 sensor in it, the wheel would have gone out the exhaust.

Now they are probably going to make up some excuse to where they blame it on me and wont do anything to cover it. This kind of shit pisses me off. Not saying this is what they are going to do but it just seems as if slow boy did it and got away with it to the dude with his 20g, they could do the same thing to me and I just got it rebuilt for $669 2 weeks ago to the day. It was done on the 7th, took a shit on the 21st.

Has anyone ever delt with these guys before and this happening or them not replacing something faulty? Opinions/Questions/Comments... Feel free, Discuss please.

I'll post pictures when I get up. Thanks.
