CM871 turbo premature bearing failure

[Nostalgic]

I couldn't answer you very accurately. I've lost track over the years when and what I was running and for how long. I'd guess that I probably had 150-200k on it. Of course that's over several years, I don't put many miles on.

I've been hesitant to even say on here that it failed, because I really do believe he does an excellent job. I'd buy another from him again without hesitation - I just don't expect as long of service life as a new oe holset.

Funny story about that particular turbo. I bought parts online and rebuilt it myself - I'm just terrified to bolt it on and try it haha. It's in the SHTF storage boxes just in case I need a whistle whirley smoke spinner in a dystopian future. If my current turbo needs replacing, I'm calling YTS first.
