Turbo failure is expected especially after boltons and tune as you many of these owners either come from the HR/VHR high revving world. VR turbos just wont keep up. You then have limitations of the direct injection system.
Many of the failures I believe are due to failing turbos without the knowledge of the owner and continued beating. There's only so much ECUTEK can soften to prevent it from blowing but many times doesnt happen fast enough or lack of owner insight.
After seeing the one that did 900whp on stock coolers I was surprised the coolers handled the job after upgrades to it's cooling system.
More will be learned and revealed in the future however the true savior for the VR will be the new Z. Hopefully it's weaknesses were addressed in this model.
