Not necessarily true. The more you beat on it, the more anything will break, close to stock, or heavily modded, doesn't matter. I can say the highest hp DSM I've owned was the most "reliable" because things were put together and held together fine.

QFT.
Build it right, don't abuse it, and it should last a reasonable amount of time.
Look at the raw abuse my motor took last season aaron. Yeah I was breaking shit, but all things considered, with that amount of power, it did very well!

I thought you had to yank that thing like 10 times?
On topic though, in general you do hear about people rebuilding these PTE turbos more often than say a 16g or 20G, but there are probably more cases where people are seeing similar life out of 50 and 61's. JET is a good example of this. |

My 50 trim took a TON of abuse including running without a filter for a good period of time. It took a beating and never failed me.
The SCM61 that i have now seems to handle itself quite well.
Fuck it, if the car dies just buy another one, they come cheap these days.

Re: scm61 reliability
My car has been abnormally reliable for two years now(daily driving).
2.4, gt3561, and absolutely everything to accompany it.
Put it together right, it will last if you don't abuse it. There is a difference between using it what it was made for, and abusing it.

Re: scm61 reliability
I know DSM's can be made reliable, however is the scm61 reliable? It is almost two different things.
And how is jet a good example of this (thinking of buying his setup)
