2 of my buddies turbos ( gt28rs and gt2871r) blew after 7000km (3450miles google ftw) because of bearing failure. both of them were bought brand new and used the proper oil fittings run on a ca18det.

now i don't say that this is a proof for the quoted text above, but it made me think twice about spending money on a garrett turbo.

to me they were always bulletproof turbos, my buddies 1995 s14 with 190000km has its first turbo (and its been abused!!) my 1995 s14 has 140000km and it still has his first turbo, both were made by garret.

i guess everything is just getting worse because humans are more concerned about how much money they save/earn instead of being proud to produce or buy a quality product.
