Red took some more pictures of his turbos and posted them at

His camera does not focus well at very close range but these are clear enuf to show some interesting things.
I find it strange that the broken blades failed in almost exactly the same location with the same failure line. I also find it strange to see some of the bending of the blades.
I don't know what has caused this failures but I don't think they originated from debris coming thru his exhaust as they would appear as random breaks.....or so I would believe.
I have no idea with regard to the wheel manufacturing process but I wonder if there was not a defective batch produced.
I believe he should be given credit for having a legitimate problem and these failures given serious investigation. He may be unlucky but I don't believe bad luck repeats itself in this fashion.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
