I realize this is comparing apples to oranges in a way but the GTA42 based turbochargers from the 60s detroits and c12 cat engines, as well as the GT47 and BTG75 based turbochargers from the 3406E, C15 engines I get in are typically completely trashed. I have 20+ cores of each with bad turbine wheels, compressor wheels, or both. In the big truck world garretts tend to be so so. I have zero failures out of the s410 borgs and K31 borgs that replace the models I mentioned. While it is hit and miss on survival of the turbines in the garrett units. Is this not the case for the pickup performance world? Didn't miniwheat toast a couple of garrett turbine wheels early in the year?
edit: this is posed as an honest question for knowledge as I am dumb on garretts in the performance world.
