Message The videos I've made came out surprisingly good if I do say so myself. That's mostly luck but also recognizing that lots of light makes a huge difference in such videos. I'm very glad you appreciate and post about it!

You're absolutely right that I need to find out why it failed. I plan on sending in an oil sample, checking the lines, and figuring out what to do about the housings. I'll post more pics of the housings after I take out the CHRAs.

Clearances (between the wheel and housings) are absolutely critical to the performance of these small turbos. The compressor maps are based on like new clearances. 0.01" can change the entire map characteristics depending on build clearances.
