Update on the K04/16's that failed after 150 miles......
Aparently the inside of the intake manifold was jethot coated when the outside was done. I don't think this was intended, but it happened. Some of that coating chipped off and went through the engine to the turbos where it knocked the turbine wheels out of balance. you can see the damage in the first pic. The second picture shows what part of the wheel was damaged in relation to the wheel inside the turbine housing. That part of the turbine wheel is directly exposed to the exhaust gasses.

Jet hot is pretty sloppy, they ruined a set of E-manis of mine doing the same thing, second time....
around I used Swaintech. They did a fantastic job. I have pictures in my picture poster
