Efferalgan setting his at 7500 and having multiple failures is a pretty strong clue. Also, make sure you use the proper viscosity traction fluid.
Mine was set at 7200 mine was a direct failure from shock the first time the engineer said it was a peice destine to fail and said they all will eventually cause the design... i think thats why rotrex have there shit figured out on the drive side... they dont use a threded cap with a oil sling. They have a longated hole that the drive side seats into it is also lighter rotating assembly. The second time mine failed was a bearing issue no install issues since i pretty much rebuilt everything on this kit (redesigned) the flaws and a bearing ended up letting the turbine wheel hit the housing and snapped the shaft... also the shaft has a failure point aswell. Cross etched to break under stress....

the first time it broke it was 13k on it and second time was only got 8k then the third time i got 17k on it... i went to turbo cause i can rebuild my turbo for 100 bucks and its reliable and i dont have to fuck with pulleys and belts and i dont have any lag cause the ball bearing turbos are awesome... so in my books it has the upperhand i just hipe i can save someone the mistake i make by wasting a shit ton of money on this kit
