How many of you have had a freshly rebuild turbo (by a reputable vendor)blow oil?

Just got a fresh turbo, installed it Thursday night, primed the engine 10-15 PSI (3 times), started it up, ran GREAT for 15 miles and got it up once to 8 PSI, THEN, there was a weird sound.
Now I am burning oil (exhaust smoke) and did not have that before, with absolutely NO OTHER CHANGES!
I need a break!

I paid $750 for a used te-45 that was fine for a day and then it started smoking. Talked to Limit and they say look to spend $390 - $700 due to some wheel damage now. And don't ask about the engine and trans problems. I have had bad luck with this GN.

Sounds like a quality control problem to me.

Put it this way... I have spent 6k this in 6 months. All on repairs for stuipd crap. I have thought about getting a SRT-8, GTO 6.0 or a motorcycle. Good thing the gn is not my daily driver anymore, but I am fed up with this car!!
