[BP single kit] Compturbo died @ 6k miles; looking at replacements

Pretty sure this thread won’t be edited to “Installer error & not Mfg.defect”
As I helped install & know everything was properly performed.
I knew about the clocking issue with the other turbo failure; as I was the one who first asked the question after viewing his post..(see pic)
So very much care was taken during the whole process from the differential,clutch,fuel system & turbo installation.
Only obstacle with the actual turbo install itself, was using a bit larger diameter bolts than what was supplied-to better align the housing & gasket on the twin scroll frame…..not to torque it down tighter; just for alignment purposes.
And had to remove & re-seal the pipe tape that was applied to the bottom coolant fitting…as it dripped after starting up the first time.
Other things we took care of & the owner is really meticulous about everything.
The appearance of the car shows this
Had the pleasure of working off of a brand new 4-post lift too.
So whatever internally failed on Turbo wasn’t an installation error!

Does it still have that cracked windshield?

Thats what it was Jar. The rock that hit the windshield did some JFK bullet chit and time warped into the turbo 9 months later costing Madwi $3k and having his car down for 2 months in driving season. Good times

I'll find out for sure next weekend when I tear that turbo apart.
