OK... this has reached a ridiculous point. People are blowing engines up left and right. My question is HOW MANY have?

It is a very sad (and quite discouraging) topic to discuss, but someone has to do it...

Oh, and the Turbo Kit doesn't matter... in case no one has figured it out yet, its out POS stock bearings, rings and pistons. I have personally seen these fail on STOCK motors...
Apart from this, the crazy timing is a great factor. And also don't forget that from turbo kit to turbo kit (of the same make) not a *single* one is identically installed to the next, or *idnetically* tuned to the next, or run in *identically* the same temperatures....

BTW there IS a block design difference between years (95-96 & 97-99)..

Here's what I want to know (cut and paste and fill in):

*Car BRAND (Talon/Eclipse/Avenger)..... Eclipse
*Model Year ... 95 Early Fuel System
*Total Mileage at time of incident ..... 94,000
*Total Mileage Turboed ...... 3000
*PSI on Turbo ..... 10psi
*Fuel System Setup ..... HRC Fuel Pressure Riser w/ Holley High Pressure Fuel Pump
*Internals.... Bone stock (and as far as I know) all original.
*Any timing tuning? .... No
*What went wrong ..... Blown Rings - excessive blow-by, blew camshaft seals

I DO NOT want to know which turbo kit. We will only start a silly pointless little war...

Thanks, and I hope you guys help me find the problem!
