That's your problem right there. Lots of people on this board have had him rebuild turbo's for them and they fail rather quickly. Bring it to a place that specializes in rebuilding turbos

Talked to Brian at FP. He said Stay away from putting a restrictor on a journal bearing turbo. He also said to stay away from any one that suggests to lol. He said you can't just throw a rebuild kit at a turbo and hope for the best; it's a pretty complicated process to make sure every thing is working perfectly.

Talked to a tech at MAP. He said don't run a restrictor. He said the PSI was completely normal and plenty of people are running turbos for years (not a few hundred miles) without any problems at that psi.

If it blows out again i'll take the loss and buy something new. i'm sick of dealing with it. this is the 3rd time in a year my turbos been off my car. I just wanna go fast. i just dont want my floor board to fall out and i dont want any danger to my manifold.
