Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Hello
I post this because of all the talk about turbos and weekend mechanics replacing them in the garage. I am just offering some advice.
I will try to make this short. I do not know about all the mapping and stuff like that to busy, But I do Know Diesel engs. And I would like to address the turbo failure discussed in some other threads. I am A engineer aboard large ocean going ships I work on, maintain, rebuild, and replace Diesel engines in the 500 hp to 10 000 hp range this includes Turbos. I can speak with some knowledge here. Turbo failure is caused by clearance issues, lack of lubrication and damage from stuff that that has no business in the turbo ie parts of valves rags tools etc. 95% of all turbo failures I have seen are lack of lubrication and lack of cool down after a heavy load. first, lack of lubrication the single most important time to lubricate the turbo is installing time when putting the turbo on pour clean NEW oil into the turbo oil gallery then give the turbo a gentle spin to coat the parts that need to be lubricated. this will be the single most important thing you do for your turbo or turbos, secondly let the turbo cool down it is good engineering practice for to turbos cool down for 5 mins after bringing the load off on all applications.
This is my humble advice
hope it helps
I am thinking about the b1/b2 combo my self any comments???
