Is there is rub marks on the edges of the blading. If so, the bearings failed.

Well, simmilar assumptions were made in the past when a customer had an issue where the compressor wheel contacted the compressor cover. Turned out that at the time of install customer installed the compressor cove, and tightened the bolts, without ensuring that the cover is square on the back plate.
So everything would suggest that it was a bearing failure, and only after a couple of hundred miles. Turned out to be an install error...that was also covered under warranty. Not sure that other turbo manufacturers would do that. I know for a fact that PTE wouldn't.
COMP makes a phenomenal turbo, which is extremely reliable, backs it up with customer service, and always stands by their product.
