There's faaaar more Gtm kits out there than SR kits. If I'm not mistaken I think I only heard of 3-5 MAX that have this single turbo kit? I think the number is far less. So this kit is fairly new. With 2 blown already. Doesn't look good. The response from the owner doesn't look good as well.

The last one to blow was not runnin high HP number. See where I'm goin?

Lastly. U said the one G that blew had numerous track and driven hard 13k miles. I'd be happy gettin 13k the way I drive. Valpozguy had no track days if I'm correct and only some spirited driving.

Just seems suspect on the out looking in. That turbo does look real close to the piping. Just wanted to bring to the owners attention maybe he can look into something that might be an issue or the tune might be off. The way he responded says a lot. I hope the fellow member goin that route with his built motor has better luck
It was a 370z nismo that blew up and lasted for 13k car did 11.7@127 and is on my youtube channel.There is also another nismo owner that only lasted a few months that blew up. Now when I say blew up I mean rod out the side of the block. Then you have Sharbycoop who has the G 37 that caught his motor just in time before it shot a Rod out the side.

Now I don't want you to think I am defending S&R kit,hell I don't even like design of it.
I am just trying to shed some light on the fact that these motor's can blow up.

Also you cant count a dropped a valve as part of this hell I can drop one in my built motor I am still using a stock head.
