right now ive got 2 trucks in with doodlets and both have catastrophic turbo failure. One lost exhaust side impeller blade and had severe vibration and other one its just chewed to hell, but no shaft failure and no debris entry.

I know back when people were doodleting 6.4 there was talk of turbo over speed.... both these trucks are just straight piped...

is this whats going on?

both pick up, not C&C's

if they're both 11-14 , nature of the beast, tuned or stock, they fail often. tuning just seems to speed up the process. they run 180000 rpm at 30 psi of boost .. unless god balanced it himself it wont live long .
