No turbo timer? Did you allow the engine to idle for a bit before shutting engine off after heavy boosting? Some more info on how all three blew would help. Oil supply problem? Was oil changed often?

We need more information, plain and simple. Without knowing anything about the turbos or how they failed, we can't give you any advice. For starters, do you have pictures of the oil return?

I installed 2 super t70 turbos my car just seems not to like them but they were Ebay turbos so I get what I pay for I guess but my oil lines are good... Does it matter if I have turbo cocked up towards hood or should I put it to face down again? If so would cutting the side wall where full race traction bar IS hooked up mess with my traction? Im going to upload some pics soon maybe bye tomorrow

that's what you get for being cheap. now you'll end up spending even more money to fix your problems. not so cost effective now is it?

Operator's error and name brand parts equals a bmf fail, at least he can learn from his mistake and not break the bank.......completely.

It could be a little bit of operator/install error, but at the same time, those turbos are built to shitty factory specs...sometimes they work, other times they dont. Personally, I stay the f**k away from Ebay parts. With the amount you've spent on **** parts, you could have bought an actual Garrett

It might be me doing something wrong when I adjust the turbo to face up towards hood now trying it the first way I had it but might have to cut the wall where traction bar is or go under neath it but then I have to raise my car but **** it as long as I can drive I dont care

Its nothing to do with the way you drive the car, its the way the turbo was installed and how the oil drain flows. If your drain line sucks, you'll back up oil into the turbo (since the feed is pressurized and the drain is gravity-feed) and the seals will eventually let go. If this sounds like the problem you're experiencing, post some pictures of your oil drain before you grenade another turbo. Those Borg Warners are fairly beefy, but will break eventually if you have a shitty oil drain
