Default BLOWN TURBO...

Well, my buddy has a gen 2 teg... he recently installed a junkyard turbo kit using the audi 5000 k26 turbo... we've been through two different turbos, both of them started out with no shaft play and no wobble, but for some odd reason they have both messed up... it seems as though the turbo shaft is hitting the housing... we're stuck, and confused why this would happen to both turbos... anyhow, any help would do, also, paul_vang if you happen to read this... your help would be appreciated...

Double check to make sure your oil return line is sufficiently sized, and high enough on the oil pan...
