Pure Turbo Failures?

Hi folks.

Has anyone experienced pure turbos failing within a year of fitting them?

Reason I ask is that there has been a post on the UK Facebook page regarding failures and it being a more common thing. Got me a bit worried as my car is currently in with failing turbos and I've made the leap for pure stage 2 hf turbos.

Your stock turbos are failing? I assume you have mods that have stressed the stock turbos beyond their capabilities?

I'm curious about how your engine can cause a turbo failure. How?

that doesn't make sense unless it was an install error.

I had an N55 PS2 rebuilt by pure and they sent it back without a wastegate/arm. It was a little bit of a bitch to get them to ship the remaining parts to my shop, but once it was on the car it performed beautifully.
