Failed ATP/Garrett Turbo Thread

[Dano]

So there seems to be a recent rash of failed GT and or ATP/GT BB turbos, so I thought it might be a good idea to have a database of which turbos failed, failure mode, and outcome.

I think the following criteria should be included;

Turbo type: [GT30xx or ATP GT30xx, GTX30xx, etc]
Restrictor used: [no restrictor, .035, .040 etc]
Failure Mode: [CHRA bearing falure, hotside cracking, etc.]
Oil feed line used: [OE, ATP, other]
Oil return line used and if modified for length.
Vendor Purchased from:
Answer/resolution from vendor or manufacturer:
Symptoms: [cloud of smoke out of the back + no boost, etc.]
Turbo mileage:
Turbo failure after blown motor: [yes/no]

I think that's about it unless anyone has other ideas of what would be useful.
