Was it a genuine Forced Performance one. There are cheap far eastern versions of it that fail, or at the very least, don't perform.
The genuine FP can still look like a cheapo one as it uses the same shaped comp cover. But the CHRA is pukka and up to the job though.

Unfortunately I agree Gus.
Fp state that it will cope with the boost but from my experience they are wrong.
It was a good turbo (briefly) but when there are great turbos around at that power level I dont see why anyone would want one of these.

When I got my FP green there was a thing about removing the filter that is in the union where the oil; feed fits to the head. It was also in a technical instruction from subaru, if this is clogged then it restricts the oil. Could this filter being left in have been the cause of the thrust bearing demise? I have removed mine during fitting.
