Yes we are well aware of the previous issues. Those issues mostly existed with the first run models primarily the 6258 not the 6758. These are popular in a lot of the other communities and replacements that have been received seem to be holding up quite well when compared to the first run. Warranties exist for a reason. That being said this is still a constant thought in the back of our minds and we are looking into other options(Garrett GT3071R). We are also looking into possible sponsors for this build.

Glad to hear that you are aware of the issus. It would be tought to build a system around the EFR turbos (unique plumbing configuration), then have issues, and have to change the entire system as a result.

No worries I appreciate the friendly forum support

I will be confronting them tomorrow as to the scope of the issue but from everyone I have talked to that has had the failure and has talked to BW about the issue they have been told it is limited to the 6258 which oddly enough are the only ones I have seen have this problem. Trust me %90 of this kit will be custom and it will be a sad day if we have to make any last minute changes.
