^^^^ What he said
Because Precision draws the line at one year. We can send it to them and have it rebuild for cost, that is what we offer anyone over the 1 year warranty.
The most likely cause is the thrust bearing is toast, which causes everything to move and leak oil out the back.
One thing to cover before someone else tears it down, pull the compressor cover and make sure the comp wheel has not contacted the compressor housing. If the wheel has hit, you cannot buy the wheel and it will have to be sent to Precision, so no sense paying two shops.
Also the $600 was a worst case high estimate, but its just a guess until the unit is looked over.
For anyone with a 71/72 the thrust bearing, even the new 360 thrust, is the weak link. If you let the charger bark alot, the thrust will fail faster. Teach yourself not to let the turbo bark and you will get a longer life.
bov would be a wise investment
Just don't chop the throttle under full load.

No thanks. I lost enough sleep over this. I'd rather pay out my own pocket then to deal with your company. I certainly would not send you my turbo, just to send to precision. I can already see the potential nightmare, considering I couldnt even get a straight answer regarding the warranty to begin with. I can appreciate you trying to help, but a little late. If I never posted thread on this forum, you would have dodged this warranty claim because of a lack customer service . You say only 5% of these turbos fail... I would think that for the unfortunate 5% of us you would try your hardest to help us out. warranty or not.

Dude, you asked and Tadd explained that it was a miscommunication. That happens ALL THE TIME, and not just with elite. It's a part of life, as unfortunate as it is. Point of this thread was to get help, he just offered and your rebuttal is to rip him a new asshole over a honest mistake that wasnt even his own? Pretty ****ty in my book and its pretty clear your intent wasn't to get help to begin with. And just so we are clear, you think a diesel performance shop should instantly shell out cash every time somebody calls in with a "out of warranty" claim? Do you know how fast the till would run dry over ignorance alone??
From the sounds of things, you don't appreciate jack sh!t. If it was me, I'd be telling you something different than "let me help you".
Good luck
