Apparently I was wrong about TP
It was brought to my attention today via PM that I was perhaps to harsh, and that I jumped to conclusions on what may or may not have caused my engine.....disaster. That Perhaps I did not give Trusted a fair shake, and unnecessarily perhaps brought bad light on a company that provides good products and quality craftsmanship. I tore down the turbo's today for the first time ever, and I found evidence that he is probably correct, and perhaps I was too harsh in my assessment. One doesn't expect to get this level of quality from such a fine place. Please accept these pictures as proof that I was too harsh, and that I retract everything I have said to date about things being sub par. They are infact on the cutting edge with this piece:
Notice the laminar flow that was most likely created by the highly honed edges of this turbo flange. One usually only sees this acute attention to detail, and razor edge when a squirrel chews through a wall trying to get at an acorn.
Nothing is more important in an engine or turbo than oil flow. You don't want that stuff leaking either, therefore, I recognize the solid construction here and the over sized gasket to help aid in the flow and ensure there is no leakage.
I also got the oil cooler apart, which is the very next place for oil to go after the oil filter. You really don't need a good filter it turns out, this will catch all of the pieces for you.
Yip thats Copper!
And finally, I should infact be delighted. After draining the oil cooler, I have actually struck Gold......well its copper, but Copper prices have gone through the roof.
So it appears my PMing friend was dead on. How could I expect that the mistake could have possibly come from a company who takes the utmost pride in their work. Please accept my apologies, and I hope I did not offend your delicateness this time.

No, it appears the squirrel was trying to escape the spinning squirrel cage. He didn't think he would have to work so hard in a 6.0L. When that didn't work, he shtited all of his stolen gold watches.

As my good friend Lou pointed out, "That came straight from the Helen Keller machine shop".

Wow - how did stuff like that end up on this project?
I mean, perhaps not obvious when you lift the hood, but someone had to assemble it, right?

Wow, I wonder if I can get a job as a welder for TP.
Do you think they would let me bring my trusty $99 Harbor Freight flux wire welder?

Sadly, I think many of the "diesel performance" shops today might be turning out work like that.
