> The first turbo that came in (I thought was the Silver Bullet 66/74/14) blew up in 700 miles … they warrentied it & gave me a new one. This one (again thinking it was a Silver Bullet 66/74/14) blew up at 1700 miles.

> I have been running there smaller “towing” turbo (Silver 62) BOTH times. This explains why turbos wont last on my truck … and while I have been fighting to get this thing to run like it should (ran GREAT … dont get me wrong)

> On a bright note … I made 580hp on this little turbo!!!

> After a few days, faxes, calls, looking up invoices etc … Industrial called me today and realized thier mistake, and they are building my (the right one this time!!) turbo as I type this, and they are sending it out tonight … on them.
