Really sorry to hear that.I emailed you a couple of weeks ago to give me a call so I can talk to you about what that noise actually was I got busy I never heard from you. This is Steven by the way. Really the only thing that'll make a turbo go bad is a poor rebuild or something got in the way of the oil feed line. What I would highly recommend is to get the oil feed line professionally cleaned to remove all of the coking. What happens when you bend that solid line around you could absolutely release a little bit of coking that is on the inside of that line over the years and it could block the turbocharger. Trust me I know I did it.now whenever I put a new turbocharger in I replace that line no matter what with the new one.they don't have to be hard-line replaced, you can do the stainless steel flexible lines. I actually had that happen with the guys that rebuilt your turbocharger they were nice enough to rebuild it for the cost of the parts. Not saying that's what happened but that sounds like what happened.
