I don't think the gates the entire problem. I need to research my thoughts more before stating them but I know I'm not using presicion gates on my max powers.
the motor.....

3 motors? I've never had a failure before this. I swap motors because I can and it's been the EASIEST course of action. As for tuning and that other bs you rambled off, who knows, I really don't care. Put my setup in your truck and you would be faster. LOL

the gate should not be failing because of location. majority of wastegates are made to be near the turbos or branched immediately off the exhaust manifold/manifolds.
i have never had an issue with mine and ive held 12-1400 for a while (3-5 minutes or more) with heavy loads and even more so in the summer.

You , Erik , and Shone has a turbo go out from what I gather on here. I don't blame you on the motor swap. I'm sure some fine tuning on tuning might help things. Elite should send Mike M. a set to work with....

:whs:
its a lot easier/faster swapping motors rather then having to tare everything down, send it to a machine shop to check the heads, deck the block and spend about $500 on gaskets, seals, washers and new fuel lines.
the motor had seen better days and i am quite surprised it lastest as long as it did with mike. the motor has seen quite a bit of nitrous, towed another truck to topeka and seen the abuse with mike.

mikeys and shones werent not the same turbo which they had prblems with. mikeys turbo is most likely fine but is changing it for peace of mind
Joe. Mike's turbos are probably fine the tech found oil past the seals on the high pressure Turbo but the shaft felt good. I'm.sure what happened was the piston cracked. Created high crankcase pressure and forced the drain oil to not evacuate the Turbo thus pushing oil.somewhere... out the seals in this case. We don't know oon Erik for sure yet.

Aren't most of these motors breaking one of the back pistons? That was also what Rudy was breaking the most? Intake manifold restrictions with the extra air, not getting to the back cylinders enough?

:whs: this is why I got the manifold from Doug at Gogo Diesel. Doug did some testing and there is a 20% difference from the front to back on our stock manifolds.

O no mike I'm sorry to hear that. Not a good thing. Just out of curiosity, what will you do with the hurt motor?

Shone, my Precision is out and the Tial water cooled is going in. After yours stuck, mine and Maul's numerous times I am going to change it out for peace of mind.
I may call GOGO about that intake if one of the rear pistons let go. Don't want to go through this again. Don't have a spare motor laying around to make it faster fix.
