Yeah thats my guess, i was reading a lot about it happening to other people and they say that some red locktite should be on there. I didn't see any trace of that on mine, but i'm not sure that's a must either. oh well it's a shame it happened i suppose it's time for the bigger turbo i wanted haha.
