what?

have you checked to make sure you have good oil press to the turbo? did you brake them in or did you just throw them on and stomp on it?

when you say blew up what do you mean? locked them up or sent the wheels flying?

 

that whole paragraph was possibly the most confusing thing ever. brand new turbos cant be pushed to there limits right off the bat. and they should always be filled with oil when first put on the truck. you could be overspinning them. wastegating correctly is important.

 

I took a lot of english classes in college and all i have to say is, what?

 

i think im as confused as everyone and yes make sure your priming them that could be an issue

 

sorry about the confusion i was tryin to hurry an go pull the old turbos off needless to say ive went threw 5 turbos in the past 7 months. as for everyones comments. Yes i do prime them. Yes i put at least 500 miles on them before i ever really get on it. most of the time im hooked to a trailer. My oil pressure is good tht is the first thing we checked when the first 66 blew! they ether lock up or they blow the guts out im not so sure as to how he is runnin truck 247 but im pretty sure its a easy life

 

if there locking up sounds to me like there not getting any oil ...or your shutting them down way to fast

 

5 turbos in seven months?

 

wow there is definatly something wrong either you need to check your oil lines or stop barking them.

 

yes 5 turbos in seven months. i jus found another 66mm cheap im goin gto run it as a top charger and jus baby it convert it over to a ton and work it to death i already have a trailer behind it 247
